I was born in Lake Placid, N.Y. and  lived in Western New York,  graduating from Alfred State College in 1981 with a degree in Audio/Visual Technology. I have lived in Colorado Springs for over thirty years and have traveled the state border to border. My husband and I have two kids in college, ages 20 and 22. We homestead on a small west-side farm, growing our produce. We have two cats and a chocolate lab. I enjoy making wine, playing guitar and playing the Colorado outdoors.
