- Bio
- Mother of boys; favorite magnet says "coffee is my only friend"; closet bodybuilder; once in a professional class, the teacher asked if anyone in the room was a geek and I was the only one who raised my hand; my liberal arts education has led me to know just enough about everything to consistently get the daily trivia at Caribou correct; always welcoming opportunities to build more character on my journey to self-actualization.....
