I am enjoying life and the many experiences I get to discover. Traveled to Paris, Dublin (saw the St. Pat's parade too!) and London with my kids - Courtney and Tyler, plus my brother Ray's daughters - Kim and Holly. As board President of The Farm at Historic Prophetstown I got to take a Draft Horse workshop and was able to harness and drive Belgian Draft Horses – very cool! I’ve been to every state but Alaska, been to most of Canada and kayaked the glowing ocean waters in Puerto Rico. I am working on getting to Alaska and one other bucket list item is to bicycle 100 miles in one day. 88 miles is my the farthest so far – I’ll get that one done before Alaska, I am certain! What I’m saying is I’m enjoying my life and LOVE my family and friends, so life has been good! I hope to keep finding new fun things to do each and every year!

Spouse: Dan (works at Eli Lilly/Evonik) Children: Courtney and  Tyler. I am President/CEO of the Visit Lafayette-West Lafayette. I've been with them for over 32 years, and p resident for 28 years; it’s been a great career! We volunteer at most of the local festivals and I am on the usual five to seven local & state boards. We have a 9-year-old giant schnauzer named Riese who keeps us active just getting him out an exercising him.
