A Little About Me

What have I been up to since high school?

My best achievement in these last 40 years was sending out into the world two amazing people! Brian, who I had while still in high school, is now a Harvard University assistant professor and researcher. He lives in Boston with his wife. My daughter, Lindsay, is a well-loved, involved Waukegan elementary school teacher! She lives nearby in Lake Geneva with her wife and son.

What I do for fun, adventure, or relaxation

I have become an avid motorcyclist and that checks all of the boxes: fun, adventure, and relaxation! My husband and I are motorcycle instructors and that's how we met. We take some epic trips throughout the country and I have a goal of riding in every state. I have a way to go, but was lucky enough to get my Hawaii ride in when we got married there!
