Personal
My husband and I have been lifelong friends, growing up just a mile apart in rural Iowa. While I pursued a career in finance, he devoted his professional life to education. Together, our work has allowed us to explore the world while staying deeply connected to our local school, community, and church. You’ll often find us sitting in bleachers or auditoriums, cheering on students as they showcase their talents. We are blessed with three children who are beginning to forge their own paths, and I’m excited to see the stories they will write.
