Lisa grew up playing sports and riding horses in the Midwest, collecting stray cats and dogs along the way. She and her husband (whom she met in college doing an opera) moved to Chicago, where Lisa discovered her love of acting, was cast in numerous independent and students films (from tough police women to killer black widows) and got her SAG card doing a commercial for laundry products! Lisa loves acting in film, but has also spent time on stage in Los Angeles and Chicago. Stage credits include Hillary in the critically-acclaimed "Modern Drama"and Agnes Gooch in "Mame". She co-produced and created the role of Maggie in "Echoes" (written by her husband), and together they mounted her successful solo show called "My Mother's Yard". Other favorite productions include roles in "Frozen", "To Kill A Mockingbird", and "Judgment At Nuremberg", which starred Katharine Ross and Drake Hogestyn.
