About

Let’s back up a moment. My full time gig is in the concert business, where I plan concert marketing for three venues here in Milwaukee. Each is a historic building, which make for unique settings for concerts. Over the years we’ve hosted a multitude of artists in a variety of genres. The job is absolutely my dream job, however with the whirlwind activity of concerts during the fall (ROCKtober is the busiest month) and spring, it’s hard to keep a fitness routine going.

Inspired by healthy living blogs, I started this blog to chronicle my journey of fitness / nutrition, by sharing photos and writing about meals, workouts, and everyday life – that is, my life that’s “backstage” from my rock n’ roll job.

Did I mention that I LOVE FOOD? That’s an absolute truth. I was a vegetarian earlier in life, and returned to my vege title about four years ago. I eat fish and seafood occasionally, and of course I love cheese (I am from Wisconsin, truth). I think that makes me a pesco-ovo-cheese-o vegetarian? In Milwaukee, at most restaurants here have vegetarian options aplenty so I can usually find some good eats. At home, I love to try out new recipes, especially for baked goods.

This blog has helped to keep me accountable for my fitness and nutritional goals, and I’ve appreciated having the creative outlet as well. The healthy living, fitness and food blogging communities are absolutely fantastic, full of talented, funny and caring individuals whom I’ve enjoyed meeting and carousing with at conferences such as the Healthy Living Summit and Foodbuzz Festival (attended both in 2010).Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and my journey here at Backstage Balance.
