HOMETOWN: I was born in the quaint little Indiana community of Seymour... Home of John Mellencamp. When I was 4, my family moved to Columbus... I was 8 before I finally found them! From there, my memories are a bit blurry. It's assumed that, while babbling and incoherent, I wondered into Alabama on my way Shreveport-Bossier.
KIDS: Do pet kids count as of now??? (See below)
PETS: I share my home with 3 cats; Da'an, Pheobe, and Napoleon. Plus, my newest addition... a cute little Pug, Dharma! (but the cats think THEY own the house!)
FAVORITE MUSIC: Oh, wow. My tastes are all over the map. If it was released between 1955 and now, I've probably played it!
FAVORITE LOCAL RESTAURANT: Do I have to pick only 1? I'm torn between Tacomania and the Real Pickle.
FAVORITE TV SHOWS: Huge fan of Grey’s Anatomy, Dancing With the Stars, Brothers and Sisters, and Jersey Shore (Hey, it makes me feel better about myself!!!)
FAVORITE MOVIE: Anything made by Disney/Pixar!
FAVORITE CONCERT: Hmmm... That's a toss-up between Cher and/or Reba.
PEOPLE WOULD BE SHOCKED TO KNOW: I've been to 4 Mudbug Madness festivals… Emceed a crawfish eating contest… But have still never tried one myself. I Know!!!
