On the Personal Side

Originally from Indiana, Kati relocated to Englewood, Florida more than a decade ago, where she and her family enjoy the coastal lifestyle. Outside of work, she values time with her husband, Andrew, and their children—Brayden, Coleman, Jorden, Makenna, Eli, and Jojo—as well as their three dogs: George Washington, a rescued Dachshund, and Murphy and Nala, Cane Corso puppies.

Kati is actively involved in community initiatives in both Florida and Indiana. In her free time, she enjoys reading, traveling, and spending time at the beach, as well as boating and fishing. She is currently training to run the New York City Marathon in celebration of her 40th birthday.
