About Me
After graduating the 8th Corps in 1980, Chris and I began our family of what is now four grown sons, Isaac 27, Britt 25, Bo 21, and Wyatt 17. We moved from our first assignment in South Dakota to Maryland. Then on to New York and settled in Ohio in the early 1990s. We now live in Centerville Ohio with our youngest son Wyatt who is a Senior in High School and a part-time Camp Counselor at Camp Kern, one of the nation's largest and oldest YMCA Camps in Southern Ohio. Isaac completed his MBA at Bowling Green State University last year and now works at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in the administative support division for the Air Force's C-5 program. Britt recently compled his undergrad at Ohio University in Fine Arts with a special focus on Ceramics and is making plans to continue his art career with an internship later this year. Bo serves in the US Army Rangers and is stationed at Fort Benning Georgia where he is making his mom, dad, and brothers very proud. Chris and I are beginning the "empty nest" phase of life which allows us to travel much more and we're having a ball. These are some of our best years yet.
My Interests
We love to travel and have recently visited several places that we have always wanted to see. Paris France, Monte Carlo, St Moritz and Lucern Switzerland, Portifino Italy and the Amalfi Coast of Italy, Puerto Villarta Mexico, and the Yukon of Canada. Britt (the art student) and I recently returned from Rome and Florence and Bo and Isaac and I recently returned from Dublin. Chris and I spent some time this summer in the South of France and Monaco. On a much more humble note, I also enjoy golf even if I make little progress or improvement. It's been a great sport for me to play with the boys who are all better than their dad.
Employment or Career
Today, I manage investments for individual clients and small businesses from my Centerville office with Edward Jones Investments. The business has developed into a remarkable opportunity to help people in ways that I never imagined possible and it has allowed Chris and me to realize some personal goals that were for years beyond all we could ask or think. I love what I do and will likely do it for a long time to come.

You two do look great. Frank and I are doing very well. The real estate market is slow but I am starting an new system that should jump start some business this spring. I mostly work out of our home in Wmbg. I love living in this area. It is rather impervious to financial swings of any kind and its soo pretty and warm. You might like to visit us sometime. Our house can get to be quite a hotel at times. Frank builds custom homes in the area and we did a lot of flipping, exchanging and selling and building in the real estate market here.We own quite a few rental houses. I am a good agent winning awards and such but I am happiest when Frank builds a house and I get to pick out all the stuff that goes into it. We've moved personally quite a bit because Frank keeps buidling us another house. It's getting old now that I am getting older. The girls are great and yes, beautiful I would agree. Kristy has a fashion design degree and works as a manager in a designer retail store here in Wmbg. She owns her own house and is single. She loves to design clothes and snowboards. Carrie lives in Richmond VA and has a business management degree and works as a compensation consultant for the state of Virginia. She likes sports and traveling. Sarah is one semester away from graduating from the University of VA. She is double majoring in environmental science and english. She is truly our brainiac. She is very gifted. All the girls have been a joy for us and live and go to school close by. We really have fun with them and take them travelling with us. Because this is our 30th ann year we will go to Europe. We have travelled all over the US and the carribean but not to Euorpe. I will try to get some pic uploaded soon. I am so glad to hear from you again and I am a very different person today because of you Chris. Thanks. Love to all the family. Joanie.
