I was born and raised in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. Chris and I moved here in April 2007 after he was in a terrible car accident. The harsh Cleveland winters proved to be very difficult for him, and we decided to look for a business that we could work in together in an area we would want to retire to. We have loved living in the New Bern area and when we are not working you can find us either at the pool or out on the boat hanging with some truly wonderful friends. 

Chris and I have been together since 1988 and have two wonderful sons. Justin is 30 and Jaret is 22. (There is a picture of the boys below!) Justin is currently living in Florida working at the University of Florida on his Post Doc research in regeneration. Justin married Katie in June of 2019. Chris and I now have the most wonderful daughter-in-law. Jaret is working full time here in New Bern at ASI, Inc. and also taking classes at Craven Community College. I cannot explain how proud of a Mom I am of these two young men.
