The Fun Stuff.  I am a geek and I love to laugh.

The serious stuff. 

(My greatest coaching education has come from my boots on the ground of life.)

• As a teen, I developed an eating disorder and I still struggle today with body dismorphia,

• At 26 I lost my husband to cancer and was left with 3 children under the age of 5
