I am married to Tim Rupp, and we live in the Raleigh/Durham area of North Carolina with our dog, Baxter (inside lab mix male). We attend Fellowship of Christ Church in Cary, NC; and we also go to special events at the Worship Center in Durham, NC. I graduated from Campbell University with a BBA in Trust Management in 1985 and then worked in the trust departments of 2 different banks from 1985 to 1999. I met my husband in 1990, and we were married in October of 1991. My husband is an electrical contractor with a Limited license in NC. Right now I do the bookkeeping for my husband's business and help him in his business from time to time. We lost our home in Durham, NC, to foreclosure in September of 2005; and we have been having to live on a cash basis since that time. We have quite a few challenges and need a good network to get back on our feet financially.
