Hi I'm Peggy from Reno, Nevada. I'm a single mom with two businesses. All the following is really boring and now I'm changing my profile. Mark and I are quitting our jobs and going around Europe volunteering and then we'll possibly settle on a country in a few years. I love to travel, meet people (learn about their cultures and food) and have fun. I've worked in the Reno-Sparks-Carson City area having resided in Reno for over 40 years. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from University of Nevada, Reno. Prior to Business Consulting; Real Estate, I worked as an Investigator and Securities Analyst for the Nevada Gaming Control Board. In my spare time, my boyfriend and I (Mark Jelen), enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, reading, kayaking, golfing, camping, and traveling. I also love to cook!

So you see with all that boring career, now I'm ready for some fun! I love to cook! So if you're in need of a home cooked meal from a mom, I'm your gal.
