Hometown: Minnetonka, MN (didn't move far - Brad and I live in Plymouth)
Been with FM107 since: May 2004 ( I think!)
What is your role at FM107?: Host of "More than Money" Saturdays from 1-2pm and the Money Minutes at 5:55am Monday thru Friday with Ian and Margery (those are recorded though for I'm in the middle of kickboxing during that time) :)
What do you wish your role was at FM107?: I love what I do having the show once a week but I wish on tv and radio nationally!
Share a favorite FM107 moment: This is tough! There have been so many great moments of meeting listeners at events and helping listeners with their money! I also have so many great listeners who call in or email me with such great questions! But one call that I will always remember....When a younger male listener called in wanting some advice about how to save some more money for he felt like he was "wasting" money. I asked him what some of his expenses were and he said his downfall was every morning getting Hotcakes at a fast food joint. My producer at the time was Donny and he recommended getting some Bisquick and making the pancakes himself! :) It was one of those many moments that we make money fun and real!
Share some behind the scenes FM107 gossip: I really don't get caught up in gossip. I'm too busy enjoying every moment of life with my friends, family and clients!
List all of the "hats" you wear in your current life: Owner of Strategic Financial, Inc where I am a Financial Advisor with Linsco/Private Ledger and assist clients with their investing and work on the expansion of our firm with adding more Financial Advisors, host of FM 107.1, "Money Matters" segment Wednesdays at 4pm on Channel 5, finance columnist for The Metro, wife to Brad, Mom to my two cats Mr. Cuddles and Critter, friend to my close dear friends that I cannot imagine life without, writer (I'm finishing up a book), and now a fitness/nutrition enthusiaist!
Describe any past fashion fads that you at the time embraced but now regret: The rolled up jeans with pins. AHHHHH!
Name a television character past or present that best describes your personality: A real person would be Oprah. There isn't one television character....I'm bits and pieces of every Desperate Housewife.
What's your favorite comfort food?: Chocolate. I cannot live without chocolate!!!! Chocolate chip cookies, chocolate ice cream, chocolate brownies, hot chocolate, chocolate fudge...the list goes on and on!
If there was an FM107 reality show who would get kicked out of the house first?: I think it would be Lori (sorry Chica!)
Do you believe in love at first sight?: Yes! ABSOULTELY! Brad and I met up at St. Cloud State. We had three classes together (odd for different majors) - he a Finance Major and me an International Business/Marketing Major. I never planned on going to St. Cloud State. I do believe that some things happen for a reason and people come into our life when we need them. But I believe love happens when you least expect it and when you know exactly what you want and feel comfortable in your own skin.
