How do you squeeze 48 years into 500 words? Get to the point quickly! That's what you can expect from me. That's a Northeast attitude, we don't beat around the bush. Let me explain, I come from a long line of Irish "geniuses" raised in Boston dating back to 1840. I'm not kidding, very important...Civil War Officers, Doctors, Professors and Business leaders, then there's me...a Bar-Mitzvah DJ! (What happened? I'll get to that in a moment). From my Great, Great Grandfather to my father, all of my ancestors shared the same philosophy. The key to their success was a simple formula....HARD WORK, look people in the eye, your word is your bond, discipline, and never ever forget where you came from. My father stressed these values to me growing up. I thought I knew better and rebelled against his advice. I decided life was too short to work hard, so I wanted to have fun! Sometimes too much fun (no convictions). I was the prince of high school parties and graduated to King of Campus in College where I created so much fun they asked me to leave. So what does an undisciplined know-it-all ask himself after the shame of flunking out?... How can I get PAID to party and have fun? The idea came to me -- start a DJ business (That's how you make lemonade from potatoes, kids.) I was the worst DJ for 2 years. Discouraged, beat down and losing clients, it appeared the party train was running off the rails. My dad offered advice again, but this time I was ready to listen. He said "if this is what you love doing... then be the best at it.” I knew entertaining people was what I loved, so I buckled down, worked hard and figured out how to get to the top. After 30 years I stand on top of Mitzvah Mountain. I have done this successfully for over 2000 families all over Boston. With the clarity of my dad’s advice, I wanted to push myself even further. For the last 15 years I've taken on many difficult challenges and have come out of every situation grateful for the experience. These challenges tested my intestinal fortitude in ways ranging from physical extremes to mental endurances. I learned discipline, self control and focus. Life was getting good; beautiful family, successful business and pursuing unique endeavors. I enter this competition for two reasons; win money for my children's education and look at myself in the mirror and be proud of my children's father!

Really it’s quite simple. I’m 47% Mom, 52.5% sweetheart, 52.75% witch (saddest day of my life was when that house fell on my sister), 82% statistical genius, and 100% sarcastic. I’m the type of person who says, “excuse me”, even if I’m by myself. Comedy and comedians are a passion for me. Sherri Shepherd is one of my favorite class acts. Would be my all-time passion, but then there’s sushi to think about. And shoes. Lord, let’s not forget the shoes. I like my coffee black along with my football—just add silver for the Oakland Raiders and gold for the Pittsburgh Steelers to make one very happy woman. Cute, cuddly rescued dogs and cats hold a special place in my heart. Underdogs of any kind hold a special place in my heart. But nothing, NOTHING, brings out my passionate side more quickly or strongly than my daughters. They’re the BEST ev-ah!! Bright. Completive. Beautiful. Funny. Loving. Bold. They’re exactly who I want to be when I grow up. Lafayette, Indiana, is where I grew up, but I have lived all over “Hoosier-ville” in addition to Poway, California, and Cincinnati, Ohio. I currently reside in the Washington, DC area. 43 years of living has taught me to laugh—especially at myself. Have fun laughing with me and at me. Should be a fun game.

Being cast on “The Glass House” is already one of the most surreal and bizarre things that has ever happened to me, and I couldn’t be more excited! I’m outgoing and curious, and absolutely thrilled about the adventure ahead. So who am I, anyway? I grew up in Ohio and embody that friendly Midwest personality. My family was always kind of nerdy, and I can fondly remember us listening to the Lord Of The Rings books on tape together in the living room. My brother and I were always encouraged in our writing of silly plays and building forts in the woods. This led to a sense of adventure that has taken me across the world following various careers, and I’ve most recently landed in Boston where I absolutely love my job and my life. I LOVE cooking and creating new dishes, designing my apartment’s interior, hosting and attending games nights, going out to explore the town with friends, and throwing parties of all sorts. (Fine French cuisine dinner party? Yep! Food Confessions Potluck anyone? You know you love that Velveeta dip!) I’m always up for any new experience and I don’t worry too much about what other people think of it. Other experiences in my life have made it clear to me that each day can literally be your last and I try to really LIVE every day and be the most genuine me possible. That has led me to the randomness of finding myself entering this show. I’m excited about the challenge of the competition, the dynamics of living with complete strangers, and ultimately about proving that my skills and experience can translate to winning the $250,000 prize.
