Now I’ve spent my entire life helping the military learn as a career active duty and civil servant. I have a Master of Science in Instructional Design and Learning Theory.

When Cassie is not writing resumes, my husband and I juggle two daughters; a spunky threenager and a one-year-old. We also manage a 40-acre homestead in central Colorado with 20+ chickens, six goats, a pig, two dogs, and a year-round garden (intense sun, wind, and dry environment permitting).
Right now my main focus is raising good little humans and showing them they can be successful working mothers and incredible stewards to the environment. My husband and I share a dream to live more sustainably which includes a passive solar home near Salida, Colorado.
We are also building a home, an Earthship/Hempcrete Hybrid

I enjoy nearly any time of exercise including running, biking, swimming, yoga, and hiking. I cook 95% of our meals because we live 30 minutes from the nearest pizza place, so I enjoy getting creative in the kitchen. I also have a large garden every year with tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, cucumbers, carrots, beans, beats, buckwheat, herbs, lettuce, radishes, and almost every variety of zucchini you can imagine. In LBK (life before kids) I enjoyed hunting, long motorcycle rides, skiing, fishing, scuba diving, and sewing.
