I am the oldest of 3, my brother passed away last summer at 27, and my sister is 24 and is also a PT member. My husband is the 4 child in a family of 5.

I have 2 nieces (ages 20 and 2.5) , 5 nephews (ages 15, 13, 12, 8 and 1 month), and 1 great niece or nephew on the way (due December 8).

I love sports. I haven't missed playing a softball season since I started playing in 3rd grade (22 years!). I also play soccer and volleyball. I also started taking dance lessons at when I was 23.

I am a HUGE Nascar fan (Go Tony!)

I am a HUGE football fan (Go Bengals!)

I love to read.

I have a degree in Biochemistry. I have two published articles, and two more in process (none as primary author). I spent 5 years as a research chemist, and now spend most of my day on the phone, working at an "inside" sales position, selling chemistry testing to medical device and pharmaceutical companies.

My husband and I were in the same place, at the same time many times before we ever met. We attended several of the same church groups gatherings in NW Ohio in High School, but met in college in Cincinnati. (Hence Cincy's name!)

I love to drive fast with the music loud, and the windows down.

I never got to meet my dad's parents. They both passed away before I born. My mom's parents are alive and doing very well at 88 and 86. This November will be their 67th wedding anniversary.

I still keep in touch with my 4 best friends from high school. We are planning a girl's weekend away in October, and I can't wait!!
