Leslie
Board Member
I’m happily married to my wonderful husband Randy. We have an amazing son named Maddox who brings so much joy and laughter into our lives. Our little family wouldn’t be complete without our two spoiled fur babies, Sheldon and Moira. Those pups are truly part of the family and keep us entertained with their silly antics.
In my free time, I love unwinding with some of my favorite hobbies. Crafting is my creative outlet – I find it so relaxing to work on different projects. Getting outside for walks with the dogs is the perfect way to enjoy some fresh air and sunshine. I’m also a big puzzle fan – there’s nothing better than getting cozy and challenging my brain with a tough jigsaw puzzle.
Spending quality time with my guys is the best though. Maddox and I have so much fun building with Legos and using our imaginations. And Randy and I like to stay active by playing pickleball together. A little friendly competition between us never hurts! We may get a bit competitive, but it’s all in good fun.
