Tami grew up in rural Utah as the oldest of five children.  She served a mission to California Arcadia Spanish speaking and still finds great joy in missionary work and serving the Latino people. Tami met her amazing husband Ben at 28 and they were married 6 months later in the Manti, Utah Temple. They lived in several states while pursuing his medical education. They currently reside in Georgia with their 4 children and several animals (which comprise a complete ecosystem). 

Professionally, Tami is a 25-year veteran software engineer, an online marketer, and is currently studying to become a licensed real estate agent. Her interests and hobbies include investing and finance along with anything having to do with water or the mountains: swimming, snorkeling, walks and sunbathing on the beach, kayaking, skiing, backpacking, and hiking. She’s always loved sports and played several from childhood into college. Her current sporting passion is tennis. Three years ago, for some reason her lifelong fear of spiders no longer plagued her: for her birthday she asked for and received her first pet tarantula. She has had one ever since.
