We don't publish AI slop, we don't run cruddy national ads, we don't tell you our opinion, and we don't have true crime stories or the latest Kardashian news. We just provide local news to local people.

We work to hold institutions to account (especially when they don't like it). We find out things that our readers want to know. We deliver results for advertisers.

Today, we have a team of ten really fantastic people here. We've printed two amazing, lasting books that I'm so proud of - Boise: City of Trees, and Incredible Idaho Women. We even launched a second news site with Valley Lookout! We dig on stories.

We launched BoiseDev AM, the most-viewed daily media product in our area. As we grew, Kara went from silent to full-time partner. She grew an events business from scratch, and made BoiseDev Eats one of the most vibrant and loved strands of our products.

Then the pandemic hit. "Uhh... this is going to not go well for me," I thought. But it was the opposite. Support for BoiseDev's brand of fact-forward, readers-first community reporting grew. We hired three people in 2020, another in 2021 and off from there.

Kara took a corporate job, provided strategic ideas and support, and brought in funds to make the mortgage. We got married. I churned out stories and tried to see if this could work. (Sorry I made the logo orange babe!)

We spent the year exploring and figuring ourselves out as mid-career professionals. And towards the end, decided to see if BoiseDev the hobby could become BoiseDev the business.

When I saw an opportunity to apply for a journalism fellowship at Stanford, with her nudging, I applied. "I won't get that," I thought. "I'm not moving to California," I rationalized. Got it. Moved. Kara that GF-now-wife came two, plus our dogs Lola and Dora.

I started writing about streetcars and stadium dreams and Wendy's closing and whatever I found interesting around local development. My then-girlfriend, now-wife, now-business-partner saw potential in it. In me.

I'd written a story on the question of WHY ARE THERE SO MANY MATTRESS FIRMS? But didn't really have a place for it. I'd been tweeting little items with "hashtag #BoiseDev" for years, and figured I'd snag the domain name. A hobby, I thought.

Ten years ago this month, I was bored. I'd quit my long-time corporate job and was working on figuring out what was next. I'd launched a small digital ad agency. But that was taking time, and I didn't have enough to do. So I decided to return to writing.

Since 2002, local news has shrunk by 75%. When I started in news in Boise, ONE newsroom alone was larger than ALL of them are now. In the last decade, @boisedev.com has grown to nine reporters. No paywall, clickbait or AI. Locally owned. This #LocalNewsDay, we're asking for support.
