When you are not at work at WFP, what can you be found doing?

When not at work at WFP, I am usually with my children and husband. They are currently 7, 5, and 2. They are very involved in softball, basketball, t-ball and wrestling. I absolutely love sports, so I love seeing my kids play!

Ashton, what is your favorite book and why?

Motherhood to Me by Emma Heaphy is my favorite book. My favorite quote from her book is “Because while we give so much to motherhood, motherhood gives us even more.”
