Biography
I am a Midwesterner at heart. I was born and raised in the Illinois Quad Cities, moving briefly to eastern Iowa, and then back to Illinois to join the RPA faculty at ISU. I love dogs and currently have two rescues: Bonny, a pit bull and Gracie, a Great Pyrenees/Beagle mix. My favorite leisure activities are tennis, hiking, and recently, building things with wood.
