One-Line Bio

I'm wife/partner/best friend to Bruce; co-owner of a small business; sponsor of four girls and one LDP student; impassioned advocate working to find sponsors for other impoverished children; and "mom" to Kat, (Beagle) Bailey, and Hoagie.

Biography

Married to Bruce, my best friend for 19 years, and counting. Worked as a secretary for 23 years: legal, medical, executive, church, and general business; some purchasing and personnel gave me a different slant, here and there.

A classic late-bloomer, I went back to school at age 40, a few years after a divorce. Studied English Literature (let’s hear it for Shakespeare!), then went on for a master’s degree. Planned to teach high-school English, but student-teaching cured me of that. Taught freshman composition classes in a local community college, until mushrooming student apathy cured me of that.

Now working with Bruce in our own small-but-highly-successful business. We both love the commute to work: my office is right next to the bedroom; his is farther down the hall. Main passion beyond Bruce--a real snuggler--and pets: growing in the knowledge and love of a Savior who loves me more than life, itself; serving Him in corporate worship and advocating for children in extreme poverty.
