I was born in Illinois, moved to Colorado, moved to Arizona, moved to California (attended elementary school), moved back to Colorado (attended junior high through college), and then moved back to California. No, I am not a military brat. I just moved a lot. I am one of eleven children if you count all of my siblings (full, half, and steps).

My husband and I met while working on Catalina Island in 2004 and have been together ever since. We are proud parents to a zoo of furry and feathered creatures.

We live in the Valley, but move up to Idyllwild, CA in the summer where he runs Astrocamp, an astronomy and adventure camp for kids aged 8-17.
