They live in Waldo with their dog, Bogey, who is a 100 pound “lap” dog. She was born and bred a Missourian, grew up in Sikeston, Missouri and her parents now live in Jefferson City.

Although being a wife and mother are first and foremost, Betsy enjoys working for herself and enjoys the practice of law. She is not much of a cook, but loves to play bartender while her husband does the cooking. The family often jokes that she cannot cook anything without Velveeta or Ketchup in it (preferably both) and doesn’t have a recipe that doesn’t start with a stick of butter. She likes entertaining, traveling, and spending as much time with her family as possible.
