I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. I was dedicated as a baby at the 1st Unitarian Universalist Church of Houston. My family later attended Emerson Unitarian Church. In my adolescence, I returned to 1st Unitarian Universalist Church of Houston and remained a member at 1st UU for the next 30 years.
Through my mother’s family, I am a 7th generation Unitarian. Her family first settled and later joined the Unitarian church in Braintree, Massachusetts.
In my mid 20’s, during a year of study in Austin, Texas, I met my life partner, Lee. We married in 1996. We lived in Houston, Texas till our move in 2012 to Decatur, Georgia. Lee is a professor of Psychology.
We have two daughters. Our oldest is a young adult who recently graduated from college. Our youngest is in 5th grade and attends the local Quaker Friend’s School.
As a family, we enjoy playing lots of games, preparing meals together, making art of various media, gardening, and being outdoors. Apollo, our family’s pet cockatiel, is a beloved family member too.
