about jdodge
I have been born and raised in the Watford City/Keene area of McKenzie County. I am the Director of the McKenzie County Tourism. Jokingly I have said that I have had all my “other” jobs to make me ready for this job. I love my job with tourism; I have had the opportunity to visit with people from all over the world. I believe that travel is an education process and windows to many cultures and ways of life. I enjoy traveling and I enjoy sharing my passion for the Great Plains and Badlands of western North Dakota.
My husband, Cameron, and I also farm and ranch east of Watford City. We have two daughters, Cami who is married to Michael and lives in Washington, DC; and Cari is a newly graduated teacher and is teaching elementary in Trenton, ND.
