A two-time graduate (BA and JD) of the University of Wisconsin-Madison
Impatient with my impatience but working on it
Secretly a math and Excel nerd who likes nothing more than digging into a budget
A former smoker, who finally quit after the 9 millionth time – don’t ever give up trying or let anyone tell you it’s easy
A lover of road trips and national parks – Acadia and Yellowstone are my favorites

Someone who prefers phone calls to emails
A traditional tattoo enthusiast who tries to get a new one every year
Dyslexic
A huge Ru Paul’s Drag Race fan

I AM...
Originally from Kansas and have heard every Wizard of Oz joke there is. Every. One.
A lifelong athlete – softball, basketball, tennis, etc.
A complete klutz in the kitchen – pretty much guaranteed to spill, break, or otherwise cause a big mess
The owner of a log cabin in the woods of Brown County, Indiana
Immensely happy when hiking or on my stand-up paddleboard at the lake near said log cabin
Grateful for Laurie, my partner (now wife) of 27 years and a very talented nurse and an amateur lepidopterist
A longtime vegetarian and recent animal welfare advocate
The granddaughter (on both sides) of hardworking farmers
Most comfortable in jeans, a T-shirt, and a good pair of boots
