Tammy has been married to her high school sweetheart, Brian, and together they have a son, Bailey, who is in college. Tammy and her family have lived in Linwood since 2001, and she has worked in Forest Lake for 29 years. Bailey attended LILA through 7th grade before transferring to Forest Lake High School to continue playing baseball, graduating with the class of 2022.
Tammy works as a Physical Therapist, while her husband is an Orthotist. She joined the Forest Lake Good Samaritans Board after years of volunteering alongside her husband and son. Following the passing of both her parents in 2022, Tammy felt the need to continue caring for others and found the Good Samaritans to be the perfect outlet. She loves helping people and believes strongly in the motto, "It Feels Good to Do Good!"
Among her favorite "Pay it Forward" moments are helping elderly couples and disabled individuals with lawn care when they are overwhelmed. The joy on their faces is priceless.
Tammy also loves planning the GALA and making a difference in the community. Her favorite quote: "It Doesn't Cost a Dime to be Kind! Pay It Forward!"
