I was born and raised in Pratt, Kansas. Graduated from Pratt High School and later Kansas State University with a B.S., M.S. and Ph.D in biology. I have been working on my family genealogy for about 15 years and after retiring in 2020 from a job that I loved in California, have moved back to Pratt. I have two sons, one living in Pratt and one in Dallas, Texas and two grandchildren in Pratt.
