“I’ve spent 25 years turning chaos into clarity across six regulated industries—and I still get excited
about a well-written work instruction.”
That pretty much sums it up. Bonus content below - cute animals and the like.
Fun Fact #1: The mom thing
I have been doing "the mom thing" for 28 years.
With a 21-year age gap between my oldest and youngest, you would think they wouldn't be very close. My oldest ended up being the best big brother on the planet and loves kids. In fact, my oldest is now happily married and having a daughter of his own. Granny or GiGi? I haven't decided.
My oldest, son Al (28), son Tarryn (16), Son Gary (12) and daughter Emma, 7 (pictured right).

Fun Fact #2: Some of my hobbies
Hobbies: Kayaking and fishing are favorites of mine. Combine those two and look out! You have an old lady using Emma's barbie pole slinging bait with a slip bobber all in hopes to have that big, tall tale of a fish to come along and strike it. Best day ever.
Photographing nature. I love to capture the morning sun as the fog is lifting out in the wild. It's good for the soul. I peppered each page with one of my amateur originals. It's more the landscape than my talent.
I recently began my attempt at painting portraits which has turned my basement into an art gallery with people staring at you from all directions. Not exactly a collection of Mona Lisa's and it's exactly as weird as one would expect.

Fun Fact #3: Dogs
"Let's get a puppy!" Famous words, right? How about we do one better and get two puppies?!?
Geesh. A little impulsive with a great sense of optimistic adventure. That's. Me.
Bear - Lab/Not Lab Mix (aka., Mr. Bear, Papa Bear, Beez, Honey Bear, Pookie Bear, The Beez Kneez, Bubba, Bear Claw, The Ladiez man) He loves the ladies, he really does. Ask my neighbor, he's always picking (and eating) her flowers. He greets me with a present when I get home daily, the one shoe out of the pair not eaten. He was sort of a package deal.
Benjamin Franklin - Lab /Blood Hound (Benny, Ben, Benzos, Benny Boop) Ben is my dog. He is never not at my side, and his entire day revolves on whether I am going to throw the ball or not. His boops never fail to make me laugh and true to his namesake, likes to eat things with live current (like my brand-new Christmas tree)
Molly May- Lab / Weimaraner (Molly Molls) She's the most feminine dog I have ever seen. She loves expensive shoes and sleeping on my clothes in the closet (destroying both). And she's so pretty.
Fun Fact #4: Cats
Jeff is a legend. He patrols the perimeter of our property taking on Raccoons and scaring Coyotes. He is the sole reason I am now a cat person and proud of it.
Mojo JoJo: She's the main source of entertainment.
