I was born and raised in Nebraska (Husker Fan) and graduated from Chadron State College in Chadron Nebraska.  I worked 35 years with the USDA, 17 years as an auditor for the Office of Inspector General and 18 years as an IT auditor and IT Specialist for the Risk Management Agency (now FPAC).  My experience includes serving as team lead for Phase I A&A assessments, coordinator and assessor for OMB Appendix A-123 assessments and lead for POA&M tracking and closure actions.  I hold a CISA certificate. When not working, I spend my time following my two high school age daughters activities.
