Heather is a member of her township’s Zoning Board of Appeals. She loves living in northeast Wisconsin.

In her leisure time, Heather loves traveling with her family, voraciously reading everything she gets her hands on (including owner’s manuals—how else would one know not to operate a lawn mower in the shower? It was in the manual. True story.), and spending quality moments with her rescued collie dogs who, in turn, lovingly supervise her every move.
