I'm a Management Information Specialist at the University of Georiga in Athens, Georgia. My job focuses on all aspects of Distance Education within the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences including, but not limited to, the Web, WebCT, streaming media, and videoconferencing. I try my best to break out of the "computer geek" stereotype. I've put some of my "fun" photos up to show everyone I do have a life!
I love horses - both real (I used to show saddlebreds) and model horses (I collect and show). That hobby has allowed me to travel to some really fun places. I enjoy myself as you can see in some of the photos below! I have a miniature Shnauzer named Lulu and I love her to death - EVERYONE loves Lulu! Check out her page, too.

No one ever thought I'd have a baby....well, now I do. Southern Crystal Dream Come True, aka Bloom, was born around 12:30 am March 30th.
Las Vegas, Nevada December 2003
We had a professional photographer take a bunch of photos while in Las Vegas. However, rest assured we hit the strip and saw the sights and lights of Las Vegas, too. Just didn't have time to photograph much while there.
San Luis, Costa Rica Summer 2003
What an awesome experience to trot and canter through the countryside in San Luis in Costa Rica.
Me and Season with our homestay
San Luis, Costa Rica Summer 2003
We had the opportunity to stay with a Costa Rican family for two days and nights. It was one of the best parts of the trip. What wonderful and caring people!
SkyWalk
Monteverde, Costa Rica Summer 2003
I was terrified! You can see me holding on to both sides of the bridge. It was about 100 feet above the rain forest floor. There were 6 or 7 bridges total that we had to cross. It got better towards the end but I still have a fear of heights.
Waterfall
Cabo Blanco, Costa Rica Summer 2003
We hiked a long time to get to this pristine and well hidden waterfall. Located in a private reserve, few people have had the priviledge to see it. The water was very cold but what fun we all had.
Winterville, Georgia at the Frye's home
So, we're not "Danny and Sandy" (from Grease) but we did have a good time!
Conyers, Georgia at the Ga. International Horse Park
When they said you could have your picture made with one of the stallions, I didn't know I'd get the opportunity to actually get on one!
Pamona, California
June 2000
Elvis was spotted in the hotel where we were staying!
Balboa Island, California
June 2000
Corona Del Mar - The Wedge
Newport Beach, California
June 2000
The jetty extension created ended the "Killer Break" on the
east side of Corona Del Mar and led to the emergence of the popular but
dangerous break known as the "Wedge" to the west on the Newport
Peninsula. Newport Bay was used in the opening of Gilligan's Island and
other film projects.
March 2000
A bunch of us took a carriage ride - not in an Amish buggy, but with sweet drafters, Silver and Smoke. Talk about a slow ride! The Amish were passing us in their buggies! I got to hang out with Peter Stone, co-owner of Peter Stone Model Horse company, and went to his house for a bonfire and pizza party.
Mesquite Rodeo
Mesquite, Texas
April 1999
Yeah I'm riding a real bull - stayed on for over eight seconds too!
Christmas 1998
Comer, Georgia
December 1998
The family!
Cowboys and Indians
Bogart, Georgia
Summer 1998
We all wanted to be Indians! Polly, Abby, and "Dusty" in real
life but that day we were Skyhawk, Lucky Little Standing Bear and Running
Wind..
Early-Mid 1990s
Danny was my very first saddleseat mount. He taught me so much about riding! The joke was that you could put him in an arena without a rider and he'd still win!
Mid 1990s
Webster was my challenge horse. It took a smart trainer and a lot of persistance on my part to become a team with him - and we finally did! He was such fun to ride.
