Hometown: Seattle, WA

Family: I married the love of my life 29 years ago. His name is Paul.

Children: Matthew (wife Hilary), Christine (husband Ryan), and Mark.

Sisters: Jolene, Jacque, and Ginger - all married to Christian men

One of my fondest memories:

Climbing to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite with my husband and three children.

Hanging out with family and friends, traveling, walking on the beach, watching the sun set, exercise, quilting, working in the yard, eating good food, playing cards/games, and enjoying the blessings God has given me.

These are a few of my favorite things.

God sent me to Summit Adventure in March 2008. I have no formal college or outdoor training. I'm neat, organized and pretty good with numbers so I was hired to do bookkeeping. I did my very first climb and rappel in June 2008! The people at Summit Adventure have become my friends. I enjoy spending time with them as we each travel the path God has set before us.
