Where do you hail from:
Tekamah, NE
Who are your early influences/who inspired you most:
My grandparents were huge influences on me growing up and into my adulthood. They are all gone now, but I take from them “life lessons” that have helped me through “life events.” They taught me to stand up for what is right, respect your elders, love with all that you have, and forgive as much as you can.
Family life/hobbies /community involvement:
I love spoiling my 3-year-old granddaughter, Reese. I am a lifelong Pittsburg Steelers fan; enjoy spending time with family and friends along the Missouri river, and motorcycle riding. I am an animal lover and have a special place in my heart for Papillon dogs. I have a 12-year-old one named Henry.
The quotation I live my life by is......
“It will all come out in the wash.” My Grandma used to say that about any crisis or problem that would come up.
