Jennifer grew up in Wichita and spent two (way too fun) years at K-State where she met her husband, Doug. As a child, Jen would tell people she wanted to be a clown or a lounge singer. Neither of those being great career options (nor terribly appropriate for a child) and never knowing what she really wanted to be when she grew up, she transferred to Wichita State and graduated with a degree in general studies. She has used that degree to its full extent to learn and work in several different fields and positions. Jennifer knows a little about a lot. (She still secretly wishes she were a lounge singer, though).
 Jennifer has two children (that she knows about). Rachel is a special education teacher and has a son of her own. Tyler is studying business and marketing at WSU. Jennifer spent 2007 to 2020 living in the sage brush and dirt covered high desert of western Idaho. She enjoyed most of her time living there but was glad to have the opportunity to move back to Kansas.
 When she's not working, Jennifer does what she wants, gosh! She speaks fluent sarcasm, quotes tv and movie lines, believes in laughter and Jesus, and sings whenever she can (even though it has usually been on a worship team and not in a lounge). She still doesn't know what she really wants to be when she grows up. So, she is determined to simply do what she enjoys with people she likes and not ever really grow up too much.
