I retired from AXA Equitable in Farmington, CT in July of 2017 after 14 years. I previously worked at MONY, The Hartford, Aetna and two chiropractic offices in my 50 years of living in Connecticut.

I moved back to Iowa to enjoy my family. I have 13 great nieces and nephews. I have a sister and brother along with their families and most of my aunts, uncles, and cousins live in the surrounding area.

I am originally from Roland, Iowa where I grew up on a farm. I graduated from NESCO High School in Zearing, IA and then went to Medical Assisting School in Milwaukee, WI.

My only claim to fame is, I parachuted out of a plane in my early twenties. I made a perfect landing, and it was a very memorable accomplishment. One time was enough for me, though!
