Born and raised in Piqua, OH I am a graduate of Piqua High School and Edison State Community College with a degree in accounting which I put to good use daily.

It’s the perfect ride for my fur babies and countless “borrowed” human children and driving a van is convenient for me to drive than anything else. Buckling children in with a door that slides out of the way instead of sticking out in the way is so nice.
