1. I have 2 rescue dogs...a black lab/border collie/pit-bull named Willie and a dachshund named Gidgett.
2. I have only driven manual transmission cars. I got my first one at 18, a blue Camaro and liked driving it so much that every car since that one has been a stick shift!
3. I have a BBA in Economics from the University of Houston. I also have a Residential Planning Diploma from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh online division. This summer I got my insurance producers license.
4. I was born in London, Ontario, Canada. We moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan when my father accepted a job at the University of Michigan.
5. My favorite movie is "Gone With The Wind". I read the book first and couldn't put it down. When it came a theatre in Ann Arbor, I walked downtown to see it!
6. One of my favorite things to do is cook; especially for friends. I am a really good recipe cook but can add my own touches to enhance a meal. I just wish I was creative like a "Top Chef"!
7. My favorite place in the world is Wales. I fell in love with it when visiting some friends of my father's.
8. I love to read. When I was in junior high, I use to work in the library and on the way home from school, would stop and read under a tree in a neighbors backyard!
9. I broke my 2 front teeth as a youngster in my friends basement. We had been out collecting rain water and were running down the stairs when I tripped on a sofa cushion, falling on my face!
10. I love quotes. Here is a favorite:
“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.”
― Steve Jobs
