What was your first job? I worked at Mutton Hollow in Branson; it was a craft-themed park that was very popular back in the day. My mom would drop me off with the owner for three days and come back to pick me up.
Besides your family, what’s your most treasured possession? I have a large hope chest full of, well let’s call it memorabilia, from dating my husband. We’ve dated since I was 12 and I have kept everything.
What was your professional “aha” moment? I was in another career and was listening to a co-worker describe something she saw at Walmart. It made me realize I wasn’t cut out for that work. It hit me like a ton a bricks. A few days later, my parents asked me to join the family business. It was meant to be.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be? The power to heal.
