I am a librarian in Illinois. Since 1999, I have been active in community theatre in Illinois and Wisconsin, serving on the Board of Directors for Pec Playhouse Theatre more than once. I currently serve on the Board of Directors for the Wheels O' Time Museum, the Association of Lincoln Presenters, and the Illinois Library Association.
