On a personal note, I have been happily married to my very supportive husband Scott for 15 years and we have an amazing son, Mason, who is 12 years old. The highlights of my days are spending time with my family and friends, watching our son play soccer and baseball, and lastly enjoying our hobby of owning Ford Mustangs and going to car shows.
