I grew up in Beardsley Minnesota, population 200 some and decreasing. I am the middle child and only girl out of three kids. My parents are self-proclaimed "earth muffuns": Natural living hippies minus the drugs. My mom is completely out of her element, I swear she had to have been some kick-ass pioneer woman in a past life. My dad is the living definition of the term "Angry German". A pessimistic workaholic, he spends most of his free time hiding in the basement, avoiding all conversation and the neighbors. I have one older and one younger brother, and I can honestly say that I have been the recipient of a genuine "swirly". Their loving torment molded me into the sarcastic, cynical pessimist that I am today. Growing up in the sticks, not fitting in well with the sports fanatics and farmers came naturally to me. I preferred to read books, draw and paint, and play make believe well after my pubescent years.

I graduated from Alexandria Technical College with a degree in Communication Art and Design in 2006. After graduating, my husband and I moved to Fargo to pursue a career in Graphic Design. It didn't take long for the reality of the graphic design world to prove its extreme lameness. Happiness came when I landed an apprenticeship here at Dead RockStar. I now get paid to do what I love and hang out with awesome people all day. I can't lie, it's pretty sweet.
When I am not at work you can find me holed up at home with my husband, small daughter, two cats, and a handful of undersea critters. If I'm not chasing the little one around I'm usually locked away in my studio working on drawings, paintings, and any other creative outlets I can get my hands on. Random bits of whatever: I make my husband do the laundry because I am still too afraid of my basement to go down alone. Physically I'm in my 20's but mentally I'm a crotchety old woman of 63. I am terrified of tornado's, spiders, and the dark; and if something takes me longer than 3 minutes to cook it's not worth eating and I'd probably start it on fire anyway.
