PERSONAL HISTORY
Terri grew up in Northeast Ohio, home of Lebron James, NFL Football Hall of Fame, and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. She is one of five children. In high school, she played clarinet in the band, and was actively involved in the Marine Biology program. Terri worked several jobs in high school including working at a pizza carryout window, selling shoes at a mall, and working as a floor guard at the local roller-skating rink.
Originally, Terri had the idea of becoming a marine biologist, and she headed to college at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. She lived at Forfar Field Station on Andros Island in the Bahamas for almost a year before she realized her true passion: to have a positive impact on the lives of others. It was then she transferred to Ohio State University and studied criminology. She worked her way through college by washing UPS trucks.
Terri’s daughter, Ashley, also lives here in Colorado. The two of them love being outdoors, attending sporting events and film fests, traveling together, starting new adventures, enjoying craft beers and interesting wines, and trying new recipes. Terri is a novice photographer and fly fisherwoman. She is also the proud momma of a sheepadoodle named Lily and a senior cat named Chester.
