I am from small-town Midwest America! My husband of 17 years and I have a family of four, including two girls ages 9 and 15. They keep us extremely busy! We are typically following them around watching them play different sports they enjoy. Our dog is a black lab and truly is a part of our family as well. I have been in all stages of life and am thankful for each. Started off as a stay-at-home mom, to a part-time employee, then worked my way into full-time in the mortgage business over the last 13 years. It has been quite the ride, to say the least! I like to take bits and pieces from people I admire and learn from each situation. This has led me to where I am currently positioned, to work in a career I truly enjoy and at the same time be present for my family and others. As a family, we enjoy beach vacations, backyard whiffle ball, and also really boring evenings where we snuggle up to watch wilderness shows. There is no other place I would rather raise a family than our small town where community and roots run deep.
