Beyond the Glowing Computer Screen

Although she loves making websites fast-loading and lean, she loves beach volleyball even more. She tears herself away from the little people in her computer at least three times a week to get sandy. Stephanie headquarters her business by the beach in Wilmington, North Carolina, where she lives with her two teenaged sons. Her hobby, if only she had time? Studying brain function. Her guilty pleasure? Eighties music.
