Kim is a dedicated mom of three energetic kids (16, 12, and 10) and the wife of her “tall man child” of 17 years — a title she uses with love and humor. As the family’s chaos coordinator, she juggles schedules, sports, school activities, and community commitments with heart and grit.
Growing up on a hardworking family farm — with 2,000 head of pigs and 2,000 acres of corn, soybeans, and wheat — Kim learned early the value of determination, responsibility, and community. Those roots still guide her today. She enjoys camping, photography, attending local events, and spending countless hours coaching or cheering from the sidelines.
Kim is passionate about giving back. She volunteers with the Boys and Girls Club, coaches youth basketball and volleyball, volunteers with Rural Fire, and stays involved in her children’s school through PTO and site council. Fun fact: she met her husband in their local Walmart, proving that sometimes the best love stories start in the middle of the checkout line.
