Colleen currently lives in a tiny hideaway in Colorado called Paonia where cow tipping is illegal.

She grew up in Utah, the fifth of seven children. ("I gave my dad a few gray hairs as a teenager.")

She directs a children's singing group called the "Sunshine Singers." Among their many performance venues: the amazing Cherry Days 4th of July celebrations.

Colleen has just begun songwriting and hopes to have a CD-full completed in a couple of years.

She served an LDS mission in San Antonio, Texas.
