Tech-Savvy
I’ve been using computers since the early 80′s. In the early 90′s, I met my husband on a BBS. Having built a network of friends and business associates since that time, social media became second nature to me. From blogging to Tweet Ups, I have the experience to lead your business in a new way that adds and keeps customers through online feedback and satisfaction while building trust and loyalty.
Personal
I’ve been a long-term resident of Albuquerque. Karl and I enjoy traveling and have lived in many diverse areas, including Fargo, ND! Karl and I have been married for 15 years and together we home educate our youngest daughter. Including my two adult children and two cats, we have a full house at times. In my free time, I enjoy writing, reading cozy mysteries, listening to jazz, meditating, and watching comedy movies with my family.

Tech Savviness
I have always loved working with computers. From coding web pages in HTML, CSS, and jQuery, to learning new software, I’m bored if I’m not on my laptop. When I’m not helping my wife with client workloads, I’m dabbling in Javascript/jQuery and PHP, website tools, desktop publishing, etc.
Personal
In the 80’s, I grew up with computers like my Timex Sinclair and TRS-80. I taught myself Basic and DOS. In the 90’s, I logged into Prodigy and other BBS’s and met my wife, Ashley in ’93! In the late 90′s, I worked at AOL as an assistant trainer and taught myself HTML. Now, in my spare time, I enjoy reading computer and RV/travel magazines, listening to Club/Hip-Hop Music, and watching Star Trek. I would like to get more into the hardware side of computers—replacing peripherals and building new computers from scratch—just tinkering around!
