I had the pleasure of working with Porter during my time at Discovery Education and she has become not only a great friend but her and Bill’s lifestyle has always fascinated me. I’ve known much of what she shares here but had never captured their full story. Here you go.

I caught up with Craig Badura to chat about how he got into cooking and sharing it on Instagram. While we both share a love for golf and education, I’ve been watching him explore this aspect of his life outside education.
