My incredible, healthy, active kids are Kayla 12, Calum 5, and Emma Rose. I am sure they will all be athletes, because they keep me running around constantly.

I love the great coaching that is always available to everyone. I love the to see individuals step out beyond what they believe they can achieve and excel.

We will both do some endurance racing with our horses soon. I love hiking, traveling the world, experiencing other cultures, and spending time with my great husband and kids. I also love to read and cook. | |||||
