I was born in Phoenix and am a true native of the Valley of the Sun!  My family has been in the Phoenix area since 1870.  My husband Woody and I have been happily married for many years and have four amazing children and three beautiful granddaughters.  I enjoy traveling, especially to see American historic sights.  I have a special fondness for the Maine woods, moose, canoeing and hiking.  I love a good BBQ brisket and can be bribed with peanut butter M&Ms.  My favorite animal is a rabbit and I have a cute gray bunny at home named Chester.
