Family My husband, Scott, and I have four children, Zachary, Kelsey, Sadie, and Jason. We have a large and very warm extended family and enjoy our pet cats, dog, bunny and fish. The serenity of my office is a contrast to my busy and boisterous home life.
Hobbies I enjoy learning new skills, traveling, cooking, reading, working out at the gym, skiing, singing and playing the mandolin.
