I was born in Lancaster, California and lived in Palmdale through most of my junior year in high school. I moved to Minnesota in 1972, where I lived for 9 years. My two oldest children, Christine and Andy, were born there and still live there today. In 1981, I moved back to California while going through a divorce and have lived here ever since. I have two more daughters, Blythe and Megan, from my second marriage. And I am the proud grandmother of Blythe's son, Austen.
Since I got married at a very early age (18...just out of high school), I didn't attend college until much later. I attended Los Angeles Valley College and the University of LaVerne pursuing a degree in Business Administration.
I have over 20 years experience in advertising and marketing, and I'm currently working as a marketing manager for a roofing and driveway products manufacturer.
In addition to motorcycling, I enjoy spending time with my family, my dogs (Donnie and Rowdy) and my horse, Bailey.
