A life-time Michigan native, Kristi has been writing since her early days in middle school, but only recently ventured into writing full-time. Prior to 2011, she spent 13-years working in various positions in Human Resources within prominent organizations. Kristi holds a Bachelor's of Science degree from Oakland University, with a major in Human Resource Development that includes a specialization in Training and Development.

Kristi currently lives in Ionia, MI with her husband, David and two teenaged children, Jacob and Juliana (who Jack is loosely based on). Kristi was inspired to write The Jack O'Rourke Series based on encouragement (and a bit of nagging!) from her husband, who felt that there was nothing like a modern day Nancy Drew for young tweens to read. When Kristi is not writing adventures for our pint-sized heroin, she co-owns and operates a Resale Shop in down town Ionia with her mom, Linda.

Aside from writing, Kristi enjoys reading, attending her kid's sporting events and spending quality time with her family.
