Jan's daring start as a firefighter was just the beginning of her unconventional life.  She went on to become a professional musician touring the country, singing in rock bands and even got a chance to sing for the God Father of Soul, Mr. James Brown at his annual Grammy Celebration in Los Angeles. Watch her documentary! 

In her 30s, she became a radio broadcaster working at various radio stations as an on-air personality and traffic reporter in a small fixed-wing airplane.   Watch her On the Air!

In her 40's, she became a professional rodeo trick rider performing at rodeos and events in California.   Check out the action here!

Her career path took her back to working for the State of Californa where she retired in 2014 as a state of California Media Spokesperson for various agencies. 

These days, Jan hikes in the Mountains of New Mexico with her husband Alex and dog Rebel. She continues to make music and art!
