Julie was born and raised in Chillicothe, MO. She continues to reside there with her husband of 34 years, Rolfe. Together they have three grown daughters and four grandchildren. Julie is a CPA and owns her own business. She and Rolfe also own and operate several residential and commercial rental properties in the Chillicothe area. Rolfe is also a long time Rotarian and he and Julie have traveled to Jamaica in each of the last four years with the North Kansas City Rotary Club on a medical and dental mission trip.
Julie is active in her community and volunteers with various groups at church, with the Chillicothe Educational Foundation and through the local women’s prison. At the prison, she is treasurer for PATCH.
