Personal Biography

Ann was born in Parkersburg, West Virginia and is the middle child of her Irish Catholic family.

As a young child in 1967, she and her family moved to Mesa, Arizona, so it is the place she really calls home.

 

Married in 1993 to an Indiana/Kentucky fellow, Ann moved to Kentucky in 1998 when her husband Rick was given a job transfer.

Her son William was born in 1997 and is now in the 5th year of his own school career.

 

While she misses her family, friends, and certain amenities in Arizona, Ann has found Kentucky to be a pleasant place to live.
