Kimberly W
Kimberly grew up in Houston before heading to College Station {with a quick layover in Waco} to earn her bachelor degree from Texas A&M {Whoop!}. Upon graduating, she began working in construction, which took her around the world. She's worked in Singapore, Algeria, and Perth, Australia and obtained an MBA from Rice University somewhere in between. She has an amazingly hilarious husband, John, and two wild ones - a daughter, Gabrielle {January 2014} and a son, Calum {October 2016}. She's known to enjoy a competitive game of 42 dominoes or whatever pick-up sport you suggest. She loves a crisp glass of champagne, a great shoe sale, and a good movie to sleep through.
