I’m a lover, not a fighter.

When I found out there was a job where you talked to people for 8 hours a day, I immediately found a way into training and development.  I love it.

I am a gracious loser, but an “in your face” winner.  I gloat.   I gloat hard.

I have a large collection of cookbooks.

I like to take pictures of my food.

I love to go to the movies.  I love it when anyone will tell me a story.

I’ve worked in the casino industry for most of my professional life, but I have no idea how to play black jack.  There’s math involved.  That sounds hard.

I’m a nerd for St. Louis.  We’re cooler than you think.

I have always loved, been enamored with, wanted to taste, discuss, draw, be surrounded by, test, watch and eat food.

Expressing this love has found it’s way to food photography.  I bake. I grill.  I roast.  I saute.  I do all of these things with a camera nearby.  It’s my most relied upon utensil, outside of a trusty set of tongs.

My memories are based not on what I wore, who I saw or where I was – but on what I ate.  It’s been said my food recall is amazing.

I’m a recovering fairy tale addict, professional speaker by trade, loyal cat lady to cats Quinn & Oliver, wanna be party planner and movie lover.

Enjoy the site.  Enjoy your next meal.  Take a picture of it.
