    Growing up, Barbara was a latchkey kid. She learned discipline and responsibility while her mom worked as a surgical head nurse on the late shift. She inherited her mom’s optimism, empathy and tenacity. During high school, she met her husband, Rick. They have a daughter and three grand-daughters, all of whom learned how to empower themselves and become independent young women. She enjoys watching baseball, football and basketball with her husband. As well as watching the latest suspenseful psychological thriller and horror movies. They both enjoy planning their future cross-country travels in an RV and are contemplating nomadic living for a couple of years after she retires from her corporate job.

    Barbara and her husband currently live in the quaint town of Magnolia, Texas just northwest of Houston with their German Shepherd mix named Luke, who doesn’t speak English, but hangs on every word she says.
