I grew up in Clovis, NM and graduated from Clovis High School in 1988. I attended Eastern New Mexico University where I earned my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education in 1991. Shortly after college, I married my high school sweetheart, Jay, and we moved to Artesia, NM. We lived in Artesia for 21 years before moving to Lubbock in 2013.
We have four sons, Trevor, Drew, Davis, and JJ. Trevor graduated from Frenship High School in 2014 and TTU in 2018. He and his wife, Bri, live and work in Denver where we enjoy visiting them and hiking. Drew graduated from FHS in 2018 and TTU in 2022 (BS) and 2023 (MS). He and his wife, Maddie, live in Fort Worth along with their daughter. Davis graduated from FHS in 2022 and TTU in 2025. He and his wife, Paxton, live and work right here in Lubbock. JJ graduated from FHS in 2025 and is currently a junior at TTU.
I love to spend time with my family whenever I can. I enjoy traveling as well as crocheting and other crafts in my free time. I also handle the interior design responsibilities for Greystone Homes.
