Now, here's the backstory on Colleen:

• Hometown: Denver, Colorado.
• Parents:  Dad is a doctor who was also a real Renaissance man and had us working on renovating our house with no professional help all my life. Mom is a nurse who raised 8 kids and then went back to work in my dad's practice when the youngest went to high school.
• Favorite TV shows as a kid: Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and Wonderful World of Disney (Sunday night was the only night my parents let us watch any TV).
• Spent my days as a youth: Skiing, and being part of my parents' workforce (I am the oldest of 8 children and my parents were real "do-it-your-selfers" so we did everything from building my mom's greenhouse to digging out an extra room in our basement (and I got to drive the dump truck to haul away the fill dirt).
• Thing I hate to admit, even to myself: I cry at a drop of a hat – especially at movies.
• Hobbies: Knitting, paddling on an outrigger canoe team, reading.
• First "paycheck" job: Working in an ice cream/dairy store selling milk and butter, scooping ice cream and working the soda fountain.
• First car: 1963 Mustang.
• First job after college: Bank management trainee in California.
• Thing you would most likely learn about me in the first five minutes of conversation:  I love living in Washington, D.C. and am very proud of my three children.
• Myers-Briggs Type: INTJ
• Personal quote: "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow."
• Perfect happiness is: Sitting on the beach in Waikoloa, Hawaii after finishing and outrigger canoe race.
• If I had to do it all over again: I'd have found a job early in my professional career with an opportunity to live abroad for awhile.
