Our Team

Dedicated Wife, Mother and Grandmother.  My favorite hobby is spending time with my family beachfront or in the woods camping (I prefer glamping when possible).

I’ve worked in the media industry for over 30 years for large business as well as being a small business owner.  I love to share my experiences gained along the way to help others succeed.

My Superpower is laughter.  Life is an adventure – learning to laugh at ourselves and help others along the way is the best part of the journey.

I am an Ironman triathlete and have earned more than 50 journalism awards for writing, editing and design. I’m most proud of being the founding president of the Arc of Steuben Foundation in New York, which serves individuals with developmental disabilities, including my sister.

My family has been in Phoenix since the early 1940s, so I’m a born and bred Arizonan living in the North Valley with my wife, our two dogs and two shrieking birds. Reading and listening to podcasts — mostly on history and current events — takes up most of my free time. I also enjoy riding my motorcycle, cooking and going to shows. 

Superpower: My cheery disposition!

Since 2005 I have enjoyed several positions with AZ BIG Media but love my Ranking Arizona assignment best! My free time is spent making memories with family & friends, volunteering, antique treasure-hunting, home improvement projects & exploring this beautiful state of Arizona! Super Power:  INSTINCT and knowing better than to ever ignore its’ advice.

Beach lover and world traveler.  Kansas State University football fan.  Oldest of five so I’m a little bossy.  Wife of a retired Veteran and mother of two boys.

Sandy beaches and sunsets are my favorite! I love diamonds and anything that sparkles, but you’ll find my weekends are mostly spent with my husband and two kids, getting dusty in our CanAm while enjoying the beautiful Sonoran Desert. In my spare time, I enjoy trying out new recipes and catching up with family and friends. To me, being happy is having something to look forward to, and someone to share it all with.

As a graduate of High Point University in 2014, I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications with a minor in Marketing. I will graduate from the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University with my Master of Business Administration Degree in 2025. I moved to Arizona from the great state of North Carolina in 2015. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my fur baby, my family and friends, traveling, exercising, and arts.”

I love traveling to tropical destinations………my philosophy is “where there’s a beach, there’s a way”.   I am also a foodie, a sports fan and volunteer for several non-profit organizations.

I enjoy spending time with my family and rescue dog.  I’m a sports enthusiast and can often be found rooting for the home team at Chase Field.  I enjoy good long hikes, traveling and spending time with friends.

I really enjoy spending time at the gym, biking, and doing yoga. In my free time I travel the world.

He is a native of Minneapolis, Minn., and moved to Arizona 21 years ago to escape the snowy Minnesota winters. He is married to Julie and is the proud father of Drew and Nicole.

I love listening to podcasts, coming up with difficult and strange recipes to cook for family and friends, and of course designing! My first logo design was for NASA when I was in elementary school. I also enjoy painting and have held a few shows displaying my artwork throughout Arizona!

I hail from the great state of Wisconsin and will always be a Packer/Brewer/Bucks fan. I love anything furry (especially cats),  hiking,  my Kindle and spending time with my family and friends.

My super hero power would be to disappear.

Plants, road trips, candles, dark chocolate, great music and visiting the beautiful outdoor wonders of our world fill up my joy tank! Sedona and Monterey Bay are two of my favorite places. My three kids keep me busy and laughing all the time. Over 20 years of making memories with my amazing husband who is a master of shopping cart organization. My superpower is adaptability. I can adjust & prosper in any environment or situation.

I just recently returned to Arizona after spending 11 years in Madison, WI.  When not working, you can usually find me guzzling coffee while playing MMORPGs.
