I was born and raised on a dairy farm in western New York and spent the majority of my adult life in Florida. Go Gators! I attended the University of Central Florida where I studied elementary education and received my Master’s Degree in Christian Education at New Orleans Seminary. I first realized that God was real when I was very young. I would watch the moon shine on the snowy cornfields outside my bedroom window and marvel at such a beautiful creation. When I was older, I traveled to Honduras on a mission trip and I knew I wanted to serve God by serving people. I met my husband, Chuck, while in college. We took a computer class together and became study partners. The rest, as they say, is history! God performed a miracle in our lives by allowing us to adopt our son, Caleb, in 2002. My family and I love spending time together traveling, going to movies, and playing any kind of sports.
