What inspires you: Knowing that I have the opportunity to impact someone’s life each day. I am thankful that both through work and family I have many opportunities each day. I feel success when in some manner I have made a positive impact.
What can you not live without: my husband and kids
Favorite song: Wild at Heart – Gloriana – This was our family vacation theme song last summer as we camped and fished our way around Montana.
What excites you about waking in the morning: My four kids. (Griffin 11, James 10, Harris 7, Reagan 4) Each of them have such a different personality. We eat breakfast together each morning and are typically wide awake, laughing, dancing and chasing the dogs before heading out the door to school. I never drink coffee!
What would surprise people about you if they knew: I can operate a back-hoe.
Style icons: Elle McPhereson was who I always watched when I was little and Jennifer Anniston.
Why is style important: It shows your personality
Cause that has touched your heart: Woodlawn, AL. The community in which One Stop is located and has dedicated time and resources to improving the lives around us. In the process it has also improved who we are.
If you could be anywhere in the world: Ennis, Montana
Favorite shoes: My Donald Pliner tall boots. I bought them in New Orleans on a trip with my Husband, so not only are they comfortable, but they have some nice memories attached.
Favorite designers: I am a jeans person. My favorites are 7 for all Mankind and Lucky Brand T-shirts.
Most prized item of clothing and why: An embroidered vest I bought in Taos, NM when I worked at Los Alamos National Labs in Los Alamos, NM. I don’t think I would wear it anywhere today, but that piece represents a neat time in my life.
Most prized accessory and why: The Rolex watch my husband gave me when One Stop was finally paid in full by New Orleans for the work we had performed after Hurricane Katrina. (Almost $2M over 2 years after all work completed) It represents the challenges and risks taken by an entrepreneur. The hard work it takes to see those risks become good risks. And the many times God has seen One Stop through a storm that should have ended it all.
Most treasured piece of jewelry and why: my engagement ring – Richard and I met at age 14 and flirted until we started dating at age 17. I had wanted to be his wife and take his last name for many years, even before he asked. So far he has given me a special band every 5 years of our marriage. I keep stacking them with my wedding rings and when my kids ask about them I just tell them they are to constantly remind me how much their Daddy loves me.
