After years of lusting, I finally got the call to join the Riff back in December of 2020. It has been a fun ride and one I never take for granted. Here’s a few things about me that you may not know! If you already knew these things, who told you?

• Born and Raised in Toledo, OH

  Even though I was raised in Toledo, I always admired Detroit. I love watching the renaissance happening in both cities. Truth be told, Detroit is the way cooler older brother.

• I have my own kitten rescue

  I started my own kitten rescue during quarantine in 2020. I jokingly referred to my house as Aimee’s Kitten Emporium, and it stuck. 3 years later I’ve saved over 30 cats and kittens.

• I play guitar

  I have played guitar for over two decades. I neglected it for a while, but am serious about getting it all back. I have four guitars, two of which I inherited from my brother.

• I have been in two Pin Up magazines

  I decided to just “go for it” and start pin up modeling a few years ago. I’ve been in two magazines and it is still surreal to me. Don’t let anything stop you from pursuing your dreams. If I can do it, anyone can!

• I am a coffee addict

  I drink coffee morning, noon, and night. My Polish grandmother taught me how to make coffee at 6 years old. If you want to be my friend, bring me coffee.

• I raise monarchs

  I have raised monarchs the past couple of summers. It’s the coolest thing ever. Monarchs are endangered and I’m happy to do my part to save them. Sure they might pick up bad habits like swearing and drinking from me, but I like to think they have a good shot at survival.

• I have two sisters

  I have two surviving siblings. I am the middle sister. My sister Lisa is two years older, and my sister Megan is 5 years younger. We are incredibly close. We are all very close to our parents too. Fun fact,  many places can’t handle all of us at once.

• I lost my brother in 2014

  My brother Matthew was the baby of the family. Born into a family with three girls already. He was my kindred spirit and the male equivalent of me. I lost him to suicide when he was only 33. The last day I felt my heart beat was July 29, 2014.

• I was class clown

  Most likely to succeed? Hell no. I was named “Class Clown” of my graduating class.
