Tell me a little about your family. – My daughter Courtney (12) and I are the only family members who live in the great state of Nebraska, but we usually visit the rest of the family in Wyoming during the summer so we can go hiking and camping–with a real tent! If I don’t wake up to my excited dog Daizey Bear, I am blessed to hear Courtney’s voice singing throughout the house.
What do you see as one of the biggest turning points in your life? – Besides the joys and multiple turning points that just comes naturally by being a parent….I would say owning my own company has been a big turning point for me.
