Susan’s degree in Elementary Education proved an invaluable tool in raising her now grown son. Susan has always been goal oriented, keeping a running list of things she wanted to accomplish. One top priority was to work part-time until Matt started school, and working direct sales made this possible. Since 2006, Susan reads three mornings each week to a young woman with disabilities. Susan recently finished the first book in her Matt and Muggzy series, the story of a new puppy, who had to try out several names, before Matt found a name that fit.
