Home, Family & Interests

I live in Wakefield, Virginia on a farm with my husband Scott Travis and our son Dylan, who is a student at WHS. We have a big crew of farm animals that includes Hog Island sheep, chickens, goats, pigs and a donkey named Pedro.

My favorite hobby is fishing with my husband and son in the James River and on the Chesapeake Bay. I also enjoy reading, biking, snow skiing and mostly spending time with the rest of my family who live in Surry County in Scotland Wharf by the James River.
