| Well for those of you that know me, I am a driven talented individual who tries to live life to the fullest! |

I ride a Harley Davidson V-Rod, and I am a supporter of BACA (Biker's Against Child Abuse) an organization that adopts children to empower abused kids. We use the biker image created by the media to give the kids a sense of brotherhood and a family that can go to court with them when their parents, often called as witnesses, can't be there. We aren't your usual bunch of bikers, we help kids on our days off and nights and weekends offering them support and encouragment when that is sometimes something not readily available. The bikers in the group are CIO's and IT Admins, Robotics Engineers, even Physicists. I had one of the members tell me his brother who was a priest said, "He had seen people talk about helping people and the good karma that puts out there, but with BACA they really do it, they are hands on." We really are, I like to think of every BACA member as living angels, we do what we can, and we spend our time making a difference in a kids life!

| I don't have kids myself, my children are my two Italian Greyhounds (Minaiature Greyhounds) that I rescued from the Italian Greyhound Rescue Society, and two African Grey parrots who hate my husband with bloody beaks and all! I think the feelings are mutual between the birds and James, my husband.

| I have been called the ultimate artist by friends who know me well, I sing, write poetry, paint, draw, and design really impressive websites. I think websites are my greatest talent so far. I feel lucky to have found something to do for a living that I enjoy so much, it is infectious. Grumpy programmers that usually don't let people stick their fingers into their code come to me smiling saying I improved their websites and their code.

I was born in Dallas, TX, but at a young age my mother moved me to California where I stayed until I was in Junior High, then I moved to Oklahoma to get to know my father. I stayed with him for a while before moving to Texas to stay with my Grandparents to help them while my Grandmother was sick with Cancer, by then my mother had moved to Georgia. Once my Grandmother died I moved to Georgia where I went to High School in Marietta, then GA State, and got a scholorship to UMBC in Baltimore Maryland. While in Baltimore my mother took a turn for the worse and I moved back to Texas, dropping out of Medical School. I have been here in Texas ever since, building websites, of all things. Building websites has enabled me to travel extensively within the United States, I have been to Chicago, to work on Grant Thornton's website, New York to work on Fox Business News, Washington DC to work on the American Red Cross Website! Even sunny California and Florida, so I have seen both coasts, and I love to travel! Alot of the picture I took while traveling are on my Facebook page, go see them. You can see I made alot of friends along the way. One of my mentors and an old boss Adam Doti told me that I had never met a stranger, and I hope I never do. I enjoy meeting new people and working together towards a common goal.

I started building websites in Georgia when I created a website for my boyfriend's Iron Maiden cover band, and my boss at the time saw it and asked me to make one with less skulls and flames for his company. From there my web development skills blossomed, word got around and I was soon building websites for all kinds of small companies in Georgia. I picked up web development once I moved back to Texas when I was looking after my mother, and used it as an extra means of funds during my college days. To this day I build websites and think it is one of the most gratifying jobs out there. When you show people your work and they ask if you built it and they say "I wish I could do that" you know you have done something good.
