Grew up on the shores of Yukon Harbor situated in South Kitsap County, Washington state. Participated in Girl Scouts from 3rd to 10th grade, particpated in local and school swim teams. Attended Olympic College with dreams of becoming a journalist and dropped out of college, which was not a great choice. Continuing with great choices, got married and moved to San Diego, latar landing in Newport News, Virginia. Other locations included San Antonio, Texas and Gulfport Mississippi before Hurricane Katrina brought us home to Kitsap County.
