About Us

God didn't have time to make a nobody, only a somebody.

                                                         I believe that each of us has God-given talents within
                                                                    us waiting to be brought to fruition.
                                                                                                  – Mary Kay Ash

      I came to Montana in 1989 to attend graduate
     school. Before that I lived in Ohio with my
     parents, a Black Lab and a cat. When I left the
     Midwest my mother said I'd never be back,
      who'd have thought she'd be right.
      I can't think of a place I'd rather be than here.

Since moving here the clan has expanded to include
my husband Chris and his son Sam. They keep
themselves busy during the summer months practicing
and racing their motorcycles . In the winter they exchange their wheels for snow boards and skis. When he's not playing outside Chris works as an auto mechanic and Sam tries to concentrate on school.

     We moved into our home (my first house) on the
     western edge of Missoula during the winter of
     1993. While it's not my dream home on a million
     acres all to myself, it's a nice place with a half
     acre for the dogs to play, a good view and easy
     access to lots of outdoor fun.

At the same time we moved into our first home we also adopted the first furry member of the Clan; a German Shepherd/Golden Retriever cross named Cinder. She introduced me to the world of competitive dog sports and the joys of dog ownership. In 1994 I discovered the sport of schutzhund and the German Shepherd Dog. And in 2000 I discovered the happy little hound
with the big name; the PBGV.

     The newest adventure in my life is becoming a
    Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant.
     Mary Kay has opened up an opportunity to grow
     and blossom in new directions I never thought
     possible. It's a company that allows me (and
     other women all over the world) to earn money
     without sacrificing religion, family or friends.
