Heather and her husband Paul are active at Houston’s First Baptist Church as high-school small-group leaders and are both passionate about Young Life.

When she isn’t working, reading a good book, staying up late with teenage kids, walking her dog, watching dance shows, or making a great cookie cake, she enjoys visiting national and state parks.
