This family knows no limits. They dream. They believe. They reach. They stumble. They bounce back. They work harder in one week than most people do in a year. And do they ever love a challenge, especially when they crush it. It’s the craziest thing and it’s so darn inspiring.

Always in motion, the Palmer family is one of the best examples of teamwork in action you will find.  With diverse interests, hobbies, businesses, social engagements - they know how to squeeze the last drop of productivity out of a moment, and yet they find time in crazy crowded calendars to show up for each other.

Every task large or small is approached with the attitude of how can I make this better?
