Erin Beaty was born and raised in Indianapolis,
Indiana, which means she can't drive a tractor, but she won't eat
veggies that come from a can. She graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy
with a degree in rocket science and served in the fleet as a weapons
officer and a leadership instructor. She and her husband have five
children, two cats, and a vegetable garden and live wherever the Navy
tells them to go.
