Fast Facts
Born and raised in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Nita is a mountain girl at heart. Her dad proudly refers to Nita and her three older sisters as his "burly girlies." Nita and her husband, Rick, have two children: Audelle Louise (born February 2014) and Kincaid Stuart (born April 2017). In addition to their daughter and son, both are proud parents to two young labs, Bochy (chocolate male) and Posey (yellow female), who seem to get away with just about anything. Nita is an SF Giants fan, outdoor enthusiast, 10K runner, animal lover, and avid reader of silly books.
