Playing experience:   I shagged balls for our Jr. High school volleyball team and sometimes they would let me sub in during practice!

Then I discovered Ijams and the rest is history:)

And one totally fun and useless fact: I was the gold medal winner of the 1996 regional Target Scanning Olympics - I could "scan, drag, and bag" faster than any other Target employee in the state of California (all while suggesting with a smile that the customer apply for a Target credit card). I won $100 and a trip to Vegas where I competed in the semi-nationals. Due to a bag crinkling incident I incurred a 10 second penalty so I only won the bronze medal .... so close!!!
