I'm 52, a life-long Virginian, and I enjoy travel, gardening, museums and live music. I have two grown sons who I raised after I married their father, my husband, Tim. Most of my professional experience is working for construction contractors. I attended VCU and University of Richmond, but didn't obtain a degree. However, because learning is so essential to me, I seek knowledge where I can find it. I am interested in many different things, but history and human behavior are what I enjoy learning about the most. I took an art history class at VCU once and I loved it. This may be evident, but, if not, I am a non-linear thinker.
