Biography: 

I was born and raised in Michigan.  During my teen years, I lived in Sao Paulo, Brazil due to father's job transfer.  I graduated from high school while in Brazil, and came back to Texas to study nursing.  While I working as charge nurse in a major San Antonio hospital, I went to Graduate School.  After graduate school, I worked for a pharmaceutical research company researching new infant formulas and pediatric medications (tested ibuprofen on children for first time).  In 1987, I got married and moved to Venezuela where I had two beautiful daughters (now 12 and 14 years old).  Three years ago, we all moved back to the United States and settled in Omaha, where we happily live now.
