Meg is a proud native Oregonian, born and raised on a ranch in Eastern Oregon, where her deep love for horses, family, and the ranching lifestyle began. An accomplished horsewoman and journeyman electrician, Megan is also a dedicated small business owner who brings skill, integrity, and heart to every project she takes on. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Oregon State University, where she played rugby for the Beavers, embracing teamwork and resilience both on and off the field. Megan’s passions extend beyond her profession—she’s an avid hiker, softball player, rodeo enthusiast, and traveler, always seeking adventure and connection with the natural world.

This year, she’s especially excited to participate in the Sparrow Clubs program, where she looks forward to making a meaningful impact in the lives of kids.

Shannon Abero Guerrero grew up in Northern CA and has been dancing for over 30 years She was inspired by music videos on MTV in the 80’s and loved emulating moves from Janet Jackson to Paula Abdul and more!
