Betsy wrote a way funnier bio for herself, but her lame boss (see Mike Cline) picked this one instead: Betsy lived in Michigan her whole life until moving to Oregon in 2019, along with her husband Michael and three of their four kids. She met her husband not long after high school and they have now spent more than half of their lives together. Betsy loves running (most days) and being active outside as well as putting puzzles together, reading, and playing games with her family. She is passionate about people developing a personal relationship with Jesus and loves to watch that love grow.
