Wife and Mother I’m a wife and mother of four—Parker,15, Peyson 14, Phinlee, 13, and Price, 11—navigating the joyful chaos of family life with my husband, Adam. While they all shine in coaching and playing hockey, basketball, and volleyball, I serve as their loudest cheerleader! Heartland Roots I grew up in Missouri and attended college at the University of Iowa. While I miss the soulfulness and seasons of the Midwest, Arizona has my heart. Peaks Over Waves Unlike most who flock to sandy shores, I prefer the crisp air and stunning mountain views. Give me the smell of pine trees and the peacefulness of freshwater streams and lakes. Movie Pick A League of Their Own—The cast is fantastic, the quote “There’s no crying in baseball” is iconic, and the empowering message is a timeless reminder that passion and determination can lead to greatness! Favorite Date Night Alchemy 48 in downtown Mesa—you can’t beat the ambiance of this speakeasy with its classic, elegant vibe, and the most incredible crafted cocktails. My go-to? The Ace of Clubs!
