I am married to a former Marine. I have a stepson (26 y/o) and a soon-to-be 6 year old grand-daughter. My passions are walking, yoga, trail riding, showing and raising horses, and travelling as time permits. My career focus is visual arts, marketing and advertising design, publications, and technical communication.
