It’s not about balloons and ribbons anymore….It’s so much more!

Welcome to The Balloon Biz of Boise. I’m Francie, CBA (Certified Balloon Artist). I had been serving Orange and Los Angeles Counties in California since 1988 as Balloons Sound Great until we decided to move to the Boise/Treasure Valley area of Idaho in 2020. With 30+ years of bringing smiles, it only made sense to continue doing what I love as The Balloon Biz of Boise.

Masumi Purdy

Membership Director

Hello there!
Some insight into who I am, serving on your board: I’ve always contributed financially or with my time to my community. Since relocating to Star, my goal was to get as plugged-in to the small town community of Star and see how my experience and knowledge could influence a positive impact, in addition to the other major contributors. At the same time, learn the history and traditions of the city. I am passionate about seeing others succeed and coaching them on how to get there! As your board member, I am the face of Membership and the Ambassador for all things Chamber! Look for me in the crowd; I’d love to chat with you.
Background: I’m a LEO-retired wife of 20 years, and I’ve been a realtor for seven years, and in that time, I’ve made it my mission to take the stress out of real estate. After all, homeownership is one of the most powerful ways to build wealth and build communities. We should have a little fun while we’re at it.
I’ve always been something of a go-getter. As a young person, I was eager to jump into the workforce, and I started out working for my mom before I was old enough for a work permit. I later transitioned into the customer service industry and became a field training manager overseeing 33 stores in northern California.
My eclectic career spans many fields and industries, from a Macy’s loss prevention manager to a NASM-certified personal trainer to a preschool teacher. The uniting force behind all of it is a love of working with people.
I’m also a proud mother to two boys, ages 12 and 8, and a much-anticipated rainbow baby girl who has graced us with her presence.  When my boys were younger, I took some time to be a stay-at-home mom, and after six years, my naturally social and talkative self felt pulled to return to working outside the home. I’m an active participant in the Star Elementary PTO. I adore my kids even when they are a challenge!
After considering what I wanted to accomplish next, a career in real estate checked all the boxes and seemed a perfect fit for my extroverted nature. To this day, my favorite part of being a realtor is finding the perfect match for my clients — and seeing the elation they feel at closing on their dream home.
Fun fact: I played Roller Derby for the Sac City Rollers for 11 years. Served as General Manager and AGM and drove us to become a non-profit LLC and a highly competitive league. Currently, I guest coach for the Beet City Bombers out of Nampa. Come out to a bout sometime!

Bruce Wise

Board Officer

Bruce was raised in Michigan where the family retail furniture business was the center of his world and where entrepreneurship was strongly encouraged.  Throughout the years, he experienced a diverse array of markets including retail, manufacturing, and mortgage/finance.

Moving to Star in 2005, he picked up where he left off in mortgage.  Soon thereafter, the changing mortgage market forced him into switching back into manufacturing, finding a position as the production manager for a supplement manufacturing business in Star (where the current Fire/Police stations are).  In 2017, that business dissolved and where one door closes another sometimes opens.  Bruce quickly organized a group of former colleagues to re-start the manufacturing under the name North Fork Nutra LLC as COO and Co-owner.  Against all odds and with a little luck ;), the business found immediate success and was profitable in its first year.  3 years later, he sold the business and is now retired.  He is living proof, with hard work and a lot persistence, the American dream is achievable!

With newly found time, Bruce is happy to be able to contribute back to the Star community and feels truly blessed.

Bruce is engaged to be married to our own Chamber VP Teresa Westrum in April!

When not busy with “Honey-Do’s” he enjoys: hunting, fishing, camping, mountain biking, hockey, and travel.
