Kebai was raised by adventurous parents, including a biologist father who hiked through creeks and sagebrush and a tropical mother who climbed trees for coconuts and harvested meals from ocean fare. She grew up in Idaho hunting and fishing with her family in the mountains. Visits to Palau included crab harvest, avoiding ocean eels, fishing from line wound on a soda can, gathering tropical almonds, and learning why it’s best to send her younger cousins up trees for mangoes and nuts. She knows how to respect, benefit from, protect, and play in nearly any outdoor setting. Kebai and her husband, Ryan, have made a purposeful decision to raise their girls in Idaho, their favorite state. Family time often consists of hunting from their wall-tent, field prepping meat to take home, and wrapping steaks to be placed in their freezer. Their daughters have never missed a hunting season since they were born. Kebai’s passion for the outdoors is well known: her work colleagues are familiar with her being out of the office for extended periods as she tugs on fishing line, chases elk in the trees, waits for ducks to flare into her decoys, or acts as vacation director on a family adventure. She enjoys sharing her passion about keeping Idaho’s wildlife, fish, and wilderness part of the state’s Great Outdoors.
