I met my husband Jon shortly before graduating in 88. After high school I attended Iowa Central for a couple semesters before moving to the Cedar Rapids area and earning my degree in Community Corrections from Kirkwood College. Jon and I were married in 1991. In 1993 I began my career in corrections with the 6th Judicial District in Cedar Rapids where I'm still fighting the bad guys present day. Our daughter Tawny was born Christmas morning 1996. Tawny enjoys sports, horseback riding, attending middle school, and at this point, still spending time with her parents. Our family takes pleasure in spending time with friends, camping, attending sporting events, (Go Hawkeyes/Tawny) and vacationing... Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. (Ferris Bueller 1986)
