A Day in the Life: Carey Bohman

Where did you grow up? Marine on the St. Croix, in a house built by my dad, grandpa, and uncle.

Where do you live? I am currently back in that same house since I sold my house in 2021.

Who do you live with? I am living with my brother, nephew, niece (when she is home from college), daughter (split time). We also have a bunch of animals; 2 dogs, 3 cats, a cow, 2 goats, and 5 bunnies (anybody looking for a show bunny?)

What is your occupation? Chiropractic Acupuncturist

When did you come out? I came out shortly after college when I split up with my first girlfriend and wanted to move back home.

How’d that go? Actually, quite well, I don’t think it phased my mom at all.

When do you wake up? 6:10am on work days, 7ish on non-work days

Phone alarm or old school alarm? phone alarm on weekdays, my dog alarm (time to eat) on non-work days

What’s the first thing you do in the morning? Feed the dogs

Breakfast? Usually, I like to make egg cups on Sundays to have for the week.

Coffee? Not usually, maybe once or twice a month.

Cream or no? yes

How do you spend your commute? Podcasts, radio, or talking to Jorge about rodeo stuff.

What do you nerd out for (gaming, music, history, etc.)? I just like to learn about new stuff in general. I don’t think I have any particular subject that I nerd out for.

What music have you been digging lately? I haven’t listened to much music other than my daughter listening to country while she prepared for our Junior Royalty Contest.

Is your work space tidy or a hot mess? It is actually both. My shared work space, I keep tidy, but my desk in the office (where I am never at) is pretty messy.

What’s been your favorite job? My current job, it doesn’t feel like a job because I just get to make people feel better.

Favorite weeknight meal? Go out, take out, or cook in? I generally try to cook in, unfortunately it’s often pizza since it is easy to make when I get home late.

On a usual weeknight, you are doing what? Making house calls for work and then spending time with my dog.

Bedtime? Anywhere between 9 pm and midnight depending on how many house calls I have.

Favorite weekend activity? Fundraising events for the NSGRA.

What are you most proud of, and why? What we have done with and how we have built the North Star Gay Rodeo and the fact we will be having our second rodeo in a row this summer July 29-30 at Dead Broke Arena in Hugo.

Words of wisdom to share: You are never too old to do what you love and follow your dreams.
