I was raised in Kailua, Oahu and have lived in Hawaii for 30 years. I owned a 10 acre Macademia Nut Ranch above Honokaa on the big Island for 8 years. Here we created out own family business processing our own nuts. Later I owned a Party Rental business in Reno Nevada which specialized in garden parties, corporate events and wedding coordination. I also did catering. Over the years I have coached gymnastics from  Team to tots, beginner-advanced (boys & girls) and was promoted to the Director of Gymnastics Nevada where I taught staff and all Academy gymnasts. I loved Hawaii but moved back to Nevada to be closer to family and grandchildren. I now am "Living Larger than Life" in Nevada.
