When I’m not doting on my five nieces and nephews, I enjoy traveling, antique shopping, and taking in live music with friends and family. I am a native of Phoenix, Arizona, and an American history buff. Every day for more than 20 years, I’ve proudly worn a POW/MIA bracelet in honor of a Vietnam veteran who remains missing in action.
