Born and raised in South Florida. College at FSU. Moved to DC after college and worked on the Hill for 6 years. Experienced a St. Paul conversion and quit everything and moved to the Western Pacific (Guam) in 1994. Met my husband there and we have been married 11 years, live in Atlanta now. No kids (not by choice). I have 5 great god children who I love like my own and my only niece is the apple of my eye. Have three great dogs - Max (after the great Saint Maximillian Kolbe), Chaplin (after the silent dude named Charlie), and Minnie (the other half of Disney's Mickey). Approaching forty (end of 2009) but could be twenty again in a instant. Run a great company that gives Glory to God through the media. |
