Heidi Shelton

Heidi is a Wood River Valley native and had the good fortune of being raised by parents who ran a white-water rafting company on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. This gave her the opportunity to grow up in the Frank Church Wilderness, where she developed a passion for preserving nature’s magnificence and beauty in its purest form.

After graduating from Whitman College with a degree in Physics, Heidi spent a year traveling through Asia and Africa before taking a job in Los Angeles as an aerospace engineer on the James Webb Space Telescope (Hubble’s replacement). While the work was fascinating, Los Angeles was no place for a mountain girl, so after 10 years, Heidi got a degree in accounting from UCLA and moved back to Idaho to begin her accounting career.

Heidi is currently a partner at Lallman CPAs + Advisors. Her firm has offices in both Ketchum and Boise, so she might be in either place on any given week, but she calls Ketchum home. She scratches that itch to make a difference in the world by volunteering for and supporting sustainability focused NGOs. When she’s not working or volunteering, you can usually find Heidi backcountry skiing, mountain biking, hiking, river rafting, or camping with her family.
