Christie was raised in an Air Force Family, moving from England to Colorado to Hawaii, then back to Colorado! She grew up playing baseball, basketball, and volleyball and considers herself quite the tomboy.  She graduated from Pikes Peak Community College and enjoyed her English classes because of her love for reading and writing.

Christie is married to her husband, Ryan and they share an amazing son, Caden! They share their house with their pets—TJ, a 3-month-old Blue Tick Hound, Rocky, a 3-year-old Miniature Pinscher, Spike, a 16-year-old Chihuahua, and their kitty named…Kitty. Anyone else getting “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” vibes from that name? When Christie isn’t processing those payrolls, she enjoys crafts, hiking, camping, fishing, and spending quality time with her family!
