Kirsten Lotz

After college, she and her husband worked as programmers at IBM until she became a full-time mom of two boys. Both sons got the math gene, which has led to many nerdy dinner conversations including the ones they now share with their wives. She has spent many volunteer hours at church and at her sons' school where she also did some substitute teaching. Her favorite part of the day was always math time!
