Meet Judi

My wife, Judi, is smart, creative, dedicated, and determined. She put herself through college by working full time and going to school at night so she could become a teacher. When she puts her mind to something, she works hard to see it through. She is compassionate and cares more about others than herself—she’s always ready to help. She was a Big Sister to two children in our community and volunteers at our church. Judi’s love for children comes shining through at family events and when visiting with friends. She is always ready to play a game, read a story, or find some fun activity to do outside with children who are visiting. I know she will be an excellent mother!  

Judi has many interests including watercolor painting, digital photography, gardening, reading, entertaining friends, working on home improvement projects, and enjoying time in the mountains. (See pictures below.) She is eager to add to those interests: singing lullabies, going to the park, playing make believe...and so much more.

She was in the classroom for several years as an English teacher, but now she writes training materials and teaches classes that help teachers learn how to use computers with their students. She has worked with teachers throughout the U.S., and in Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, Germany, and others, but for the past year, she has worked from home. Her flexible job duties will allow her to take time off when a child comes into our lives and then work from home. Family always comes first with Judi.
