“I keep very busy trying to balance a husband, two boys, a small business (Lipsense), working at Chico Creek Dental and hospital dentistry.”
I enjoy spending time with my family at our cabin at Mill Creek-fishing, hiking and exploring. I enjoy doing many things in life but have a strong passion for cooking.”
