I was born in Graham, Texas while my father was in Vietnam fighting the war. We moved to Stephenville when I was one year old, so my father could attend Tarleton State University. I attended Stephenville schools all of my life. I also graduated with my bachelors degree in Business Education from Tarleton State University and later went back and received my masters degree in Business Administration. I was raised in church all of my life. My parents made sure that my brothers and I were raised in the house of the Lord, and we were taught Godly morals. There was never a time in my life that I did not know the Lord.

In 1990 I graduated from Tarleton and married Edward. My husband is the best husband in the world. We moved five times the first year we were married. We finally landed in Stephenville and Edward felt a call to the ministry. We had a burden for the youth of Stephenville. We ministered to the youth of First Assembly for six years. Shortly after we moved here we also started Chi Alpha at Tarleton State . We felt like we would do Chi Alpha forever, but in 1998 we started pastoring at First Assembly.

I worked at Stephenville Production Credit and taught at Stephenville High School for two years before having our daughter. We have three children and they are such a blessing to me. I am a full time stay at home mom (if you call it stay at home). The Lord has blessed us and I have not had to work outside our home. We are very busy. The kids are very busy with all of the sports they play. I love sports so it is not a sacrifice for me to run them to practices and games.

Our lives have been so blessed by the Lord. We love the people of the church. We have been so blessed by them.
