Their upbringing was rooted in hands-on experiences; working in their father’s two huge gardens, caring for the family’s chickens, and learning the art of deer hunting.

Amanda and her husband, Josh, now live full-time in Florida but remain connected to their Iowa roots. They have two grown children—a daughter working in real estate in Iowa and a son who attends FGCU. Both enjoy cooking and leading active lifestyles. Amanda holds certifications in nutrition, personal training, health coaching, and as a transformation specialist from ISSA along with a Master’s degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology.
