Where did you grow up? 

 Rosebud, TX    a little town in Central Texas

How many years have you been in the industry? 

  4 years as a sales rep

Favorite past time / hobbies? 

 Taking care of my pets, cooking, playing in "42" (domino) tournaments, yardwork

Tell a funny story about being on the road... 

 I had a customer who lived in a gated community, and I needed to drop something off to her.  After having a bit of a time with the old geezer (I think he was straight out of Mayberry) at the security entrance, I finally gained access, and dropped off the item.  I then hit "Home" on my GPS, and for the next hour, drove round and round and round in this huge maze that only had 2 entrances.  My GPS kept telling me to turn where there was no road, just trees.  I thought I had entered the twilight zone! 

What did you want to be when you were 12 years old? 

 Older

What is your favorite childhood memory?

  Fishing with my Mom

Tell us about another job you had...  

  My first career (22 years) was as a pattern-maker and head of clothing design at Gotcha Covered in Dallas.  We manufactured women's casual sportswear and dresses that were garment-washed. 
Tell us about your beloved?

In addition to Hubby Gene, my pets are part of my beloved family.  Dodger is the kitty I rescued off I-30 when he'd been hit on the road; Missy is a recent adoption from North Texas Cat Rescue.  We also have Squeeky (a Manx) and Jessie (from DFW Cocker Spaniel Rescue)  You will meet Gene, Jane's husband in a future post. He is also a Moda Salesrep.

My pet's favorite TV show? 

LOL--we don't watch any TV--and the pets don't either

My motto is...

"Finish your work before you play" and  "Nothing bad lasts forever"

You just drove your car through the garage door. What would you say to your spouse / significant other, to convince them that this is good news? 

 Honey, we finally have a garage!

What fashion trend do you wish would come back in style & why? 

Men's hats--besides making an ordinary guy look more attractive, they also offer sun protection. 

 I've known way too many men who have had skin cancers removed from their faces and ears. 

If you were not a sales rep, what else would you do? 

  I'd be busy managing all the money we won in the Mega Millions Lottery
