As heard on Valerie’s Midday Show.
Valerie grew up in Fairview, TN, a small town outside of Nashville. She moved to Knoxville in 2003, where she met her husband Andy. They live in the Fountain City area with their furry “kid,” Ruby. She loves animals of all kinds, the beach, cooking, gardening, traveling, live music, DIY & home improvement projects and entertaining. Her all-time favorite T.V. shows include: Friends, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Sex & the City & Gilmore Girls. If she had to pick a favorite movie of all time, it would be “When Harry Met Sally” or “Steel Magnolias.” She’s a lover of all genres of music and says she’s fascinated with true crime stories. She’s gotta have her Dateline, 48 hours and the “ID” Channel!
