sum it all up for us:
I had to understand who I wanted to be in the gym for. The first go around I was
trying to please someone else, now I am in the gym for my own goals. I'm in an
atmosphere where you can't help but get strong. I love the sport and even though
it may not look it (working second shift the only time I want to see 7am is when I
have to go to the bathroom), I love helping to run our meets more than competing.
I enjoy seeing everyone else reach their goals.

records/accomplishments:
family background:
I am from a very supportive church going family, but didn't get to the gym until my ex
dragged me. I met Mark Chaillet and started training at his gym and started helping at
his meets. When my ex left me, the day before the IPA Worlds in 2005, I found out that
I had a huge powerlifting family. I hooked up with my husband, Gene at the IPA Senior
Nationals in 2005...and the rest is history.
