Debora Valis Classification

Debora Valis delighted us with her classification talk.

She was one of four children and was very fortunate to live in Germany as a young girl, then her family moved to Colorado where she spent the rest of her growing up years.

After she moved to Seattle, she found she could get a degree in the thing she loved most.  She loved being a physical therapist and in true Debora form she told us how she sweet talked (no she just expected it) the Dean into allowing her to take classes she was told she could not take in order to get her PT degree.

She met Steve Shaprio and as a "girlfriend" of two months he talked her into moving to Whidbey Island where they set up his practice as a family Doctor. Debora worked for him in the business and also was taught many things in the area of practitioner for his patients.

Debora and Steve have two girls Joey and Katie and three grandchildren.

After their retirement from the medical profession, they broke ground for Island Athletic Club, which they still own.
