When Amy received her bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts in Textiles (East Carolina University) and completed her Bachelor of Science in 1987, she was fulfilled and enjoyed the career that ensued. Her unique ability to easily mold into a variety of business situations has made her indispensable and successful. On this tack she had an extensive career in product development where she garnered resources for product development, directing a design department for a global automotive interior company. Her sales and marketing abilities are astute. At the same auto group she designed sales elements, fiber glass, and high silica glass. This path in her career enhanced revenue in the ballistics, aerospace, and infrastructure markets. It was time for a break from corporate life, so she sailed and did so avidly.

Now an accomplished sailor after sailing the blue waters of the Atlantic she calls Morehead City, NC, her home. Her ability to relate to all environments is actively demonstrated by her love of coastal living and boating. Her additional pleasures are biking and scuba diving.
