1. Your family:  I’ve been married to my husband, Jeff, for almost 37 years.  We have three grown children:  Evan, Abigail and Joseph.

2. Hometown & Education:  I was raised in Scottsbluff, Nebraska…Go Big RED!  I graduated from the University of Wyoming…Go WYO!  I got to Colorado as soon as I could!

3. Favorite part of your job: When the assembly knows a hymn very well, their combined “voice” will grow to the point that I can no longer hear the choir…there is no more beautiful sound than a 300+ member choir, singing from the heart! 

4. Favorite part of being Catholic: Our faith is so very rich that we learn something new about it almost every day.  I love how our faith is so intertwined with our daily lives.

5. Hobbies:  Jeff and I ride a red tandem bicycle.  He is the captain, and I’m the stoker (yes, I am pedaling back there).  Watch for us around Colorado Springs!  I also love needlework and playing classical music.

6. Favorite Food / Favorite Song:  This is easy:  Chipotle, every Sunday evening!  My favorite song is the second movement of Sonata for the Piano, by Edvard Grieg, Opus 7.  Here’s a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWQUeipn-N0&t=271s

7. Fun Fact: Jeff and I met marching in the Casper Troopers Drum and Bugle Corps, in 1982.  Two of our children later marched with the same drum corps, a very proud parenting experience!

8. Dream for St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish:  My hope is that every person that enters our doors finds a home here, and that we reach out to our neighbors to show them Christ.
