LEISA RACKHAM
Leisa Rackham moved to Sandpoint in 1996, from Northern Utah. Upon arriving in Idaho, Leisa and her husband Brandon started their own business, which they ran independently for 10 years. "Owning your own business is very gratifying. Its hard work, but something to keep you focused and I love a challenge,” says Leisa.
After selling their business, Leisa has pursued careers in bookkeeping, and physical fitness. Along with being the bookkeeper here at Berg and McLaughlin, Leisa also teaches fitness classes at two local gyms. Leisa enjoys spending time with her family (husband Brandon, and teenage daughter Kelsey), participating in sports, gardening, fishing and cooking. Leisa also loves to travel. She hopes in the future to visit Finland, among other places.
