Interesting Facts:

What is your proudest accomplishment?

I think it’s a series of accomplishments. My daughter is in her teenage years and when I see her make good decisions I think, ‘wow’ maybe we got this right after all. As a parent, you hope and pray that you have done the right things to help your children become the best people they can be. When you see them come to tough decisions and work it out on their own and make the decision you would want them to make- well that’s about as good as it gets.

What did you want to be when you were small?

I am a real animal lover. My family and friends will tell you that I can spend way too much time watching videos of dogs, cats, mini pigs, etc. As a child, I wanted to be a vet. I wanted to be able to spend all my time with animals. I still stop to pet a dog any chance I get. I even stopped on the way to a client meeting to pick up and rescue a stray dog.

What is your greatest piece of life advice?

Whenever I was upset about something my mother would always ask me, “what’s the worst thing that can happen?” Once you answer that questions you realize that things aren’t usually quite as bad as you think they are.
