About me…

I grew up in Southern California and graduated from the United States Military Academy (West Point) in 1982. I was commissioned a military intelligence officer and served with XVIII ABN Corps (Fort Bragg, NC), 82d ABN Div (Fort Bragg, NC) and 42d FA Bde (Germany). I hold a master’s degree in early childhood special education and an administrative endorsement in educational supervision.

I moved to Minnesota in 2010 and married a man who happens to enjoy digging holes. We love the hobby and I am now excited to be part of the American Koi Judges Association, working to become a certified koi judge. In 2020 we purchased a 40 acre farm in North Carolina. We are learning how to tame the vegetation on our farm and how to garden in in zone 7. Our koi will have a new pond late 2021 or early 2022.
