After a successful career working in the California State Legislature (Assistant to the Speaker of the Assembly) and as a successful sales representative for Hewlett Packard, it was time for a change. Since family was of upmost importance to me, after my daughter was born, I needed to find something I enjoyed doing to occupy my free time.

During my quest to preserve the bouquet of a very close friend for a special wedding gift, I contacted the company that preserved my bouquet 3 years prior. This is when I found out that the business soon could be available for purchase. Easily convincing both sets of parents that this would be a great adventure, we bought Bouquets to Stay.
