Hi! I’m Judy…

I’ve always loved great storytelling, and it fits right in with my long career in communications and public relations. I’ve even promoted rock stars and rap artists. If you want to know more about that, you’ll have to check out my memoir.

I’m a Texas gal, and I will never lose my Southern charm or accent. I unapologetically use both when the situation demands it. I once had a boss tell me that there are two types of people: those who know and those who want to know. That boss fired me, but his words became a valuable lesson always to aim to be the one who knows.

I think I’m witty, though some people say I’m just sarcastic. You can be the judge! I once planned to be a journalist, but my first journalism professor told me to choose a different major. He said I’d be an editor’s nightmare because I write the way I talk—without stopping.

The things that matter most to me are family, loyal friends, staying fit so I look younger than I am, a good haircut and color, cavity-free dentist checkups, watching sports (especially football), traveling, my son’s infectious smile and laugh, and enjoying good food and wine—or a dirty vodka martini—with great friends.

Life is a wild ride, but as my wise mama told me long ago, there are many things we can’t change, but our hair color isn’t one of them. I always listened to my mama!
