1.Tell us why anyone would want come to your hometown?
Whether it’s rescuing homeless dogs, writing a piece of music, or pushing myself to reach fitness goals, every day I endeavor to live according to my favorite quote by Erma Bombeck: “When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me'.” This quote anchors everything I do and makes me smile!

2.What are the (2) most important things in your closet and why?
My husband and I are both professional fundraisers for nonprofit organizations. Being extraverted and talking all day long in our jobs is our way of life – and we love it! But when it comes time for date night, we like to totally unwind (no work talk!) and just enjoy one other’s company by hiking in the forest with our rescue dogs, followed by a quiet dinner on our back porch while listening to classical music.

3.What do you love to cook and why?
Tapping into my creative side relaxes me. I love writing songs, singing, and playing piano, accordion, and saxophone. Yes, I play the accordion! I have played since childhood and it brings me great joy! I also love painting pictures of my dogs. Acrylics and pastels are my favorite mediums. I also find a good workout very relaxing. My weekly spin and Pilates classes are my protected time to relax and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

4.If you had an extra hour each day, what would you do?
In a word…eclectic! From a business suit to jeans and a t-shirt, I love mixing it up while still being me. Lately I’m really into maxi skirts – they are so comfortable and cool for summer and can be dressed up or down! I love experimenting with the colors and patterns.
