I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1983 with a degree in Dietetics from the School of Life Sciences (and to think that all of those Organic and Bio-Chem classes could have been avoided!).  For lack of a decent paying job I started working for a promotional products company, and through an odd set of circumstances ended up on my own, founding Badger Promotions in 1984.  Many years later I have no regrets.  I love what I do, and have been fortunate to find some of the greatest people around to help build the team that comprises BPI. 

Personally, I have a spouse and three kids that create the meaning of my life.  With only one left at home while two attend UW-Madison life doesn’t seem much quieter ~ just new kinds of crazy.  My husband John and I also own Pleasant Valley Tennis and Fitness Club in Jackson, Wisconsin, which my husband operates day to day.  We love to travel, although we get little opportunity at this point to explore.  In the mean time I enjoy jogging, playing tennis, working out, reading, and eating to excess.  I also believe in my community and being a part of it, and am involved in a number of causes and organizations.

The history of Badger Promotions has been a huge roller coaster, and I’m sure the future will bring more of the same.  That’s life in these times, but we’re here for the long haul.  Our ultimate goal is to serve our clients with the utmost integrity.  My father, a very kind and wise man, has always said that if you do the right things the rest will take care of itself.   Combined with a lot of hard work it is a philosophy I will live by.
