“I am proud to be a native Kansan who was raised on a farm and ranch in north central Kansas. Growing up on a farm taught me the value of hard work and instilled in me a respect for people and for creating and working with my hands.
What I do is very personal. I love that I can use the talent that God has given me to meet the creative needs of my clients. I have always felt comfortable with a paintbrush or a trowel in my hands, and I love to get a little messy!”
