Special Thanks to:
Trainer Extraordinaire Charles Glass, Diet Guru Dave Palumbo, Hair/Make-Up Talent of Colette Nelson, Fairfax Hackley for encouraging me to the national level, Kim Cooper for training & posing help with my 1st shows (& for info I use to this day), the fabulous team of bodywork practitioners - Chiropractors, Alan & Kathy Beeson (& thanks for the website) and the hardworking hands of Massage Therapist, Ginnifir Miller, Joel Goldberg for his unwavering support, encouragement & friendship, Elena Seiple for her time & effort to help me with posing (I’m still working on it!) & for being a major inspiration
 
To my family - thanks for keeping up with my progress and sticking in my corner and especially to my mother for being open to learning about a sport many mothers would have trouble having their daughter involved in & for always having my back and to my brother Chip for so closely following my career and always being in my cheering section
 
To my friends & fans - without your continued support and encouragement I would probably have thrown in the towel long ago
 
But most of all thanks to Larry - my boyfriend/ life partner/best friend who I depend on daily for emotional support & encouragement as well as a training partner and soundboard.  I would not get through the trying times of training, dieting or competing without his help, understanding and patience.  I truly could not do what I do without him!  Thanks for sharing my life and my passion!
