Q&A with Kelly
-
What was your first job?
I worked in the kitchen at Bill Max Ice Cream when I was 15. In high school and continuing through college, I did the bookkeeping for my family tractor sale and repair business, which is where I learned my love for numbers and passion for tax and business consulting.
-
Tell us about your family.
I have three adult boys, who keep me on my toes. I also have a love for animals and have three dogs, three outside cats, chickens, and a duck.
-
What are your hobbies?
I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I'm happiest when my house is full! I like to play games, watch movies, be active - anything can be fun with the right people.
-
What would others be surprised to learn about you?
Before my shoulder injury, I was pretty good at skeet shooting.
-
What is your most prized possession?
My mother's original engagement ring from my father. They were married almost 51 years before she passed. The ring is very minimal and holds no financial value. However, the love, respect, and history that it represents is priceless!
