Deb is a jack of all trades, doing everything from being a flight attendant, convention sales manager, cosmetologist, and veterinary technician. Her late husband, Tom, was a large animal veterinarian and together, they traveled to over 14 countries doing veterinary work. She is on year 27 in the field and her love of animals and the veterinary industry is what influenced her decision to come back to work as a receptionist. Deb moved back from Nebraska in 2020 to be closer to family, while taking care of her husband. She has two sons, Kyle (wife Ashley) and Derek (wife Beth), and one granddaughter, Kinley. Derek and his wife recently moved back to Manhattan. Deb is an avid K-State fan, loves antique cars, knitting, and adventure [citation].
