She is the mother of two grown sons, living in The Evergreen State of Washington where she enjoys its picturesque Puget Sound beauty and works full time as a program management consultant in the technology industry. When she's not working, Lori can be found hiking, listening to live music, dancing, spending time with her family and friends, and tending to her garden. www.lorikoidahl.com
