I was born and raised in Colorado. I have spent 34 great years with my husband Rob and we have two great children, Sara and Josh. I am blessed to be a grandma to Wyatt and another grandson on-the-way!

Married to a wonderful man, Jesse, and we have three amazing kids - Wyatt, Ocie, and Ryann. I was born in Lakewood but spent my middle school and high school years in Fort Collins. Decided to go to the same college my uncle went to - Mesa State College, received a bachelor's in business management in 2010. 

I could eat ice cream every day and totally be fine - in fact in high school I worked at the Cold Stone Creamery and ate ice cream every shift. Made a lot of weird ice cream combinations. 

I would love to see Cher in concert one day. And I one day want to go to Scotland and Ireland for a dream vacation.

I have always lived in Colorado and the majority of that time was spent in Mesa County. 
Did I have a life before Children and Grand Children? 

I have 2 great kids; Dustin is a Project Manager Electrical Engineer and lives in Ft Collins. He and Emilie have 2 children and is the reason I try to spend as much time as I can on the Eastern Slope and get lots of Ollie snuggles! I do get the chance to share my love of books and reading with Oliver who is 9 now but I have been reading to him over the phone 3 times a week since he was a toddler. 
My daughter Robyn has an MBA and is the Director of Student Financial Services at CMU. She never stops learning and also has a degree in computer programming and is working on her CPA.
My husband is Gary and I met him way late in life and everyone knows him as "Garbear". He's a retired Navy guy of 25 years. He is also retired from Walmart after 20 years. He brings 4 sons to the table and 1 granddaughter!

And…he loves to bake and share the goodies!

I have worked since I was about 12 years old and have kept going strong. I worked in the ex-husbands family business "Billings Auto Parts" and worked at Grand Junction Athletic Club for many years and also at the Western Colorado Center for the Arts. I’ve also enjoyed all the volunteering opportunities that I’ve had and continue to have. I got my motorcycle license at 16 and have enjoyed my time spent on them throughout my long life. I have worked at GVP since 2006 and still love coming to work every day. I have cherished memories and friends from all the places that I've worked.

I played lots of sports in my youth. Volleyball, fastpitch softball, and basketball. I’ve enjoyed doing Celtic dancing and performing with the local theatre. I now love attending theatre and concerts and I am eclectic in my tastes of both. 
I do love to travel and have won a couple of trips; one to Fiji and one to an Alaskan cruise. I'm hoping to keep them coming!

I am a proud mother of four, happily married, and owner of a charming frug (french bulldog pug) named Gus Gus. Our family enjoys baseball, playing board games, and bowling together. A true Disney Lover, I ensure we visit the parks every year. My greatest pleasure is cheering for my kids in their favorite sports.
