A third generation Californian, I was raised in Tarzana, California (home of Edgar Rice Burrows, the author of Tarzan). I grew up riding my horse and enjoying many of the Outdoor Pleasures, Southern California has to offer. I attended college at San Diego State University where I majored in Communications. After college I went on to a career in Advertising/Marketing working with corporate sales departments designing and implementing large-scale marketing programs. I have the pleasure of living in Big Bear Lake with my wonderful husband, Tim and our Dog/Son Dallas (he doesn't know he is a dog).
