I'm from the state of Washington, and was raised in the town of Friday Harbor, which is located on the island of San Juan (from the group of islands called the San Juan Islands).

Recent work bios includes:  From 1996-2008 I was the 'Manager of Business Alliance and Development' for Nationwide Hospitality Inc.  I secured primary & systemwide contracts for major US airlines irregular operational needs (distressed/displaced passengers). These sales also included the hotel contracts for their corporate & crew.  I then set up Princess/Cunard/Seabourn fleet crew hotel contracts (also accounting systems/voucher system/transportation/& developed a call service center) for all fleet crew, regardless of their origin.  In 2008 I started my own company, ‘HM Consulting’ and dissolved it in 2016. My primary business focused on the government MEPS contracts (Military Entrance Processing Station). I would bid on hotel contracts to place the applicants joining the military and waiting to be processed, or who have already gone through the process and waiting to be dispatched.  In 2016 I finished my Real Estate classes and was awarded my license.  

I have been with my husband since 1999. We are blessed with 5 children and 1 granddaughter. We love to travel, ski, golf, laugh and eat our way across the world.
