What was your first job growing up?
For seven years, starting at age 14, I worked at a supper club in Door County. Through the years I was a dishwasher, busser, cook, and waitress. It not only provided the means to pay for my college education, it laid a great foundation for a career in client service.

 

What do you like to do in your free time?
Spending time with family, traveling, sharing our cottage on the lake with family and friends, hiking, working out, and being outdoors (preferably by a body of water).

 

What is your favorite quote?
Live life with no excuses, travel with no regret. – Oscar Wilde
