A little more about me……..the fun stuff
I’ve always had a mantra. People don’t care about what you do, they care about who you are. So enough with all the professional stuff, allow me to introduce myself.
I'm Barb Betts. While my professional accomplishments are important, my family holds a special place in my heart. I've been happily married to my high school sweetheart, Harold, for an incredible 26 years. Together, we have raised two amazing children who have already achieved so much.
My daughter, Mandy, is a brilliant young woman pursuing her dreams as a graduate student in pursuit of a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Her dedication to her studies and her passion for helping others inspire me every day.
My son, Chris, has had an extraordinary journey in the world of baseball. After a successful career as a professional baseball player, he has transitioned into the role of a professional sports agent in Major League Baseball (MLB). I'm immensely proud of his hard work and dedication to whatever he does.
Outside of my professional endeavors, I make sure to carve out time for the things I love. I have a deep appreciation for wine, good food and travel. I’ve never met a steakhouse I didn’t love, and you can get me to any destination that has a beautiful hotel overlooking the ocean!
Nurturing meaningful relationships with my friends is a huge priority for me. I cherish the connections I have built throughout my life and find immense joy and support in these friendships. My genuine and compassionate approach to relationships shines through in every aspect of my life.
