Introduction	30 years young, Michigan gal through and through. I married the true love of my lifelast summer. He is my #1 supporter, my coach, my best friend. Love my dogs, my friends and family, our house, life is good right now. I'd sometimes like to say I'm a high-powered career woman, but the truth of the matter is I want to stay home and raise a family, work part time and keep a clean house and continue to do competitions - I don't view success in life by whether or not I have a degree, (though it took me a few years to be ok with that). I'm smart, organized and can pretty much do anything - some people are surprised to learn I never finished school. I challenge them to think of or define what makes someone a "success". To me, success in life is measured by enjoying your life, and doing what you want. I competed in my 1st NPC figure comp in April of 2009 and then went on to do NPC bikini and won the overall and was awarded national qualification. I have decided to stick with bikini because it suits my ideal body image, and the truth is, it's just more fun!! I recently took 4th in my class at the 2010 Jr. Nationals and am looking to amplify the winnings at Team U in a couple weeks!

Favorite books	Too many to list

When you've got water stuck in your ear, how do you get it out?

Actually, I spent years figuring out the best way to do this - and have come to the conclusion the fastest way is to put more water in there, then shake your head till you hear the bubble pop. LOL! TRUE STORY!
