Personal Background

I was born and raised in the deep south. Growing up in Mississippi, well, it casts a spell on you. I appreciate that culture and the culture of my parent's Eastern Kentucky roots. My favorite thing about how I grew up is the spirit of hospitality in each southern's heart and the strong work ethic that comes with it. Mike and I have been married for 43 years. I married up for sure! We have three adult children, Heather, Matthew, and Kelly. God blessed us with two incredible sons-in-law, Justin and Chase. The best day is when we are gathered around a table with friends and family, sharing great conversations, excellent food, and luscious wines,

Professional Life

I am a retired professional model. My husband Mike and I are business owners and philanthropists and have led a life of volunteer service. I volunteer my time with many organizations. I am the current President of some clubs and past President of others. I serve on many Executive Councils and various boards at the national, state, and local levels.

Favorite Patriot

Joel Stamper my first Patriot. Researching his life taught me the desire to learn all I can about my and Mike's ancestors and their service to our great country.

Favorite Historical Site
