Kaylee was born and raised in Tyler, but then moved all around the USA from ages 19-25 - Hawaii, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, California, Utah - and Tyler, Texas is by far her favorite place to live!

She is recently married and enjoys cooking (makes the best salsa anyone has tasted and sells it), Netflix binges, and is currently remodeling her fixer upper house (not as fun as seen on TV).

"We have 3 kids: Kiley, 11: Nolan, 5; and Olivia, 4; and we spend every waking moment we can with them. Family is everything to me, and if I could afford 12 more kids, I would have them.

For work, I am a Sales Rep at Datamax, formerly East Texas Copy Systems, and have been there for three years. I love what I do because I am able to be out and about in the business community and love meeting new people each day. 

A group that holds a special place in my heart is NAMI, National Alliance of Mental Illness. Raising awareness of mental illnesses suffered by so many people and their families is something I hope to bring more to light in our community.

My favorite family traditions since childhood are going to the beach each summer and deep sea fishing trips. The beach, family, and beer are heaven to me!

In this next year, I want to be more involved in the community. I want to set a great example for my kids (my biggest fear is that they will grow up and take on millennial ways/mind set - and yes, I am a millennial)."

Welcome, Kaylee, and bring some salsa for us to taste!
