Hey There…
Glad you’re here. You’re checking this out because you want to know if there’s something that sparks a connection—and whether I’m worth following or working with. I do the same thing.
This is where I’m supposed to get all formal—digital resume style. But we’re both humans, so let’s just be casual and let you get to know the real me.
Here’s the thing: I’m the behind-the-scenes person. I genuinely love what my clients do, and I can’t help but want to broadcast their messages everywhere and make their lives easier. When they get to do more of what they truly love, I’m happy.
Talking about myself though? That’s harder. But staying quiet won’t help you decide if we’re a fit. So here we go…
My First Career
I spent 20 years in medical billing and operations. I got good at organizing systems, working with databases, creating SOPs—work that made sense to my brain.
A couple projects I’m still proud of:
- Built a payment analysis system that caught insurance underpayments
- Led a 14-site billing software conversion without revenue dropping
I loved the work until I didn’t. I got restless. Tired of being tied to one location, one company, 9-5 hours, three-week vacations. Tired of office politics.
I wanted something different.
That’s when I started asking “What if?”
Meet My Other Half
Quick detour: I can’t go on without you being introduced to a very influential person in how my life and our business is shaped. Without him…life would look entirely different. I wouldn’t be where I am today.
I’m married to Robert—guitar player, photographer, leather artisan, mountain man. He’s creative and unstructured. I’m organized and systematic. We balance each other out. Robert’s the one who kept pushing that “what if?” question. Without him, I’d probably still be sitting in an office somewhere, quietly resentful, sensing I was meant to experience more.
The Big Leap for the Non-Traditional
Robert and I are both from Missouri. A job opportunity took us to Florida.
Three years later, my daughter was graduating high school. Then the news came: the company I worked for was closing. My job was to stay until the shutdown was complete.
It felt like a sign. I was burnt out and jaded. I didn’t want another medical office job or to dust off my resume for another 9-5. I didn’t want to be tied down anymore. I was done—but what should come next?
Around that time, Robert and I were looking at RVs for camping trips. I mentioned: “Wouldn’t it be cool if we could live in an RV full-time and work from anywhere?”
That was his green light. He led the charge in finding us our new home on wheels. In the final months of my last “day job,” we downsized tremendously with a huge yard sale, said goodbye to our Florida home, and moved into our 38′ Alfa SeeYa RV.
As my medical office career was ending, I started Scrivener Solutions. I had no idea what I was doing—I’d had a steady paycheck since high school. It was terrifying. But I jumped in, determined to build something that gave us geographic freedom.
I discovered the term “virtual assistant” and that opened my eyes. I know I should have niched down, but I was motivated to find any client who needed administrative help—office work where my experience could add value.
Over time, I learned content marketing. Studied copywriting. Got comfortable with CRMs, email software, and funnel builders. I evolved—dropped what drained me, embraced what sparked my interest and could help my clients in meaningful ways.
A Fresh Start
The Live Full Work Fun Philosophy Was Born
Over the years, we’ve changed how we travel, work from anywhere, and where we call home. We sold the 38′ RV because we wanted to go more remote—forest roads where that size rig couldn’t reach. For a while, we traveled in our ’98 Jeep Wrangler with a roof-top tent. We even bought a Suburban and converted it into a home on wheels.
Then we found Clifford—our 1990 Ford 4WD ambulance. We converted him into our big red work-from-anywhere adventure vehicle. My favorite by far!
Full disclosure: we don’t live in our vehicles 100% of the time. We migrated back to Missouri where our family lives and made it our home base. Several weeks a year, we take what we call our Been There Doing That travels.
I won’t lie—learning to build a business while figuring out how to work from anywhere hasn’t been easy. But I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I’ve learned so much. Experienced so much. My life feels fulfilled. Sure, there’s still more to do, but I appreciate all the adventures we’ve had so far. That’s when I realized how important it is to have work that brings joy and fuels the lifestyle you desire.
I realized that work and life aren’t separate things. They’re woven together. Work should make life better, fuller. Life doesn’t “get in the way” of work—it makes it whole.
That’s where my Live Full Work Fun philosophy comes from.
What I Do Now
These days, I work with established coaches and consultants as a collaborative partner—helping them organize their content chaos and build communication systems that work for how they’re wired.
Scrivener Solutions is our family business and has evolved into the umbrella LLC for my and Robert’s diverse projects.
When I’m not working with clients…
Robert introduced me to the mountain man lifestyle. We’re into 18th-century living history—rendezvous, trade fairs, the whole experience. We’ve been doing a lot of studying and visiting historical sites to feed our curiosity.
Inspired by Robert’s leather work—making contemporary longrifle hunting pouches and accoutrements—I’ve gotten obsessed with weaving, particularly coverlet history and designs from that era. My goal is to become a master weaver, improving my technique and creating some amazing projects. It’s already becoming a nice side business.
Robert and I have been promoted to grandparents and absolutely love it. Our grandson has put a special spark in our lives, and we get to play like kids again.
Of course, every chance we get, we’re exploring back roads in Clifford, finding places most people never see.
