Personal Life

My husband is an amazing stage and session musician. He has worked with many artists over the course of his career, including Cory Morrow, Joe Nichols, and Chris Cagle. John’s skillful guitar work and vocal harmonies can be heard on countless pieces by various, innumerable artists. Support his current, primary gig by checking out singer and songwriter Cory Morrow. He is also doing solo work these days.
 

My son, Braden, is 15 at the time of this writing (2022). I’m blown away by how fast he has grown up. He is currently interested in audio and video production with a side interest in electronics, and continues to be obsessed with gaming. His sense of humor is weird and wonderful, and I am captivated by seeing how he continues to grow and change. I know he will always continue be a wonderful human with a huge heart, and will become a successful, thriving adult.
