Deb's background was in direct sales with Mary Kay Cosmetics. Mary Kay taught her a lot that she uses here every day: Promise a little, deliver a lot. Find a need and fill it.

She soon learned to keep tabs on her jobs like she did her children: Where are you? Who are you with? When will you be home? That has served her well! Deb is a mother of 3 and a grandmother of 9. Activities such as gardening, aqua exercise and aqua Zumba classes, jogging, and light weight lifting help her keep up with those 9 little grandkids!
