Marianne Gatti

Basic Bio:

Marianne attended the University of Wyoming in Laramie for her undergraduate studies, earning a BS in Political Economics in May 1995. She later received her JD from California Western School of Law in San Diego in December 1999. It was in San Diego that she met her husband, Todd Coyle, a U.S. Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton. Her career, while also being a military spouse, took some unconventional turns over the years, including an extended period of geo-baching, obtaining multiple licenses, and engaging in remote work that began while stationed in Japan.

Marianne and her husband moved to Cheyenne in 2021 following his military retirement.
