Debi was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She always knew that her feet were "different," but she wasn't officially diagnosed with CMT until she was in her 20s. Debi is married to Tom, her best friend and partner in crime, and together they have a blended family of five children--three in college and two in high school. Debi's mom, maternal grandfather and oldest son also have CMT. Debi works for the real estate company First Weber as a quality assurance manager. She enjoys entertaining and having a house full of friends and family. Debi looks forward to starting a CMTA Branch and building a network of new friends and new ideas to improve everyone's quality of life.
