Ok, here goes. About me, I am definitely a foodie - I graduated from the Scottsdale Culinary Institute in 2001 and I worked at some glamorous restaurants in Phoenix and on the Las Vegas Strip before opening the slightly-less-glamorous yet popular Broken Arrow Restaurant in Mt. Carmel, Utah. BAR is open only during the warmer months, so in past winters I returned to university and finished a philosophy and english degree. This fall I start law school.

The closest I've ever been to being inside a pinball machine was playing fetch with my three dachshunds, on a slippery floor, with very bouncy tennis balls.

I train and ride pleasure horses and play cowgirl now and then. I come from a rodeo family - my dad was a bullrider and my mom was a rodeo queen, and now, as the logical extension of their former careers, they own and operate the Arrowhead Country Inn in Mt. Carmel.

Aside from that, I studied for a semester in Bristol, UK, one of the best adventures of my life so far - tied for first with the 10 day, 400 mile, 800 cow, Heaton family fall cattle drive I worked the last two years. Looking forward to some more adventures!
