I have been involved in sports and fitness for as long as I can remember. I was active in many sports but long distance running remained my true love for many years. I ran competitively from the time I was nine years old until I graduated high school. I was was looking for another challenge and discovered Aerobics classes. Jack La Lane was my first employer and I was hooked! I worked as an instructor throughout my four years of college and graduated from Ohio University with a Bachelor of Science. After graduation I worked as an advertising sales person by day and aerobics instructor and personnal trainer by night. Eventually I started my own advertsing buisness and nine years ago I married my wonderful husband. He is the head coach of a high school footbal team and a police officer. Eight years ago I had  my beautiful, active daughter and realised there were no pre-k programs in my town. I came up with a proposal to begin a "Fun with Music" kid's dance program and the rest is history. Many programs later  I am fortunate enough to say that these classes have been very, very successful. My family has been traveling since my daughter was two years old. We consider this time togather precious and important. The idea of being able to join my two favorite things in the world, I feel, is a fantastic opportunity!
