Meet Sarah

Sarah Windham graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2004 – Hook ’em Horns! She has been married to her husband, Jonathan, since 2005. They have three amazing kids, three dogs, and two cats – all of whom think they run the house. Spoiler: they do.

When Sarah is not juggling work and family, you can find her reading or doing CrossFit. She lives by a “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take – Wayne Gretzky – Michael Scott” mentality and tries to channel “I am Beyoncé, always” energy whenever possible.
Life’s messy, loud, and hilarious – and Sarah wouldn’t trade it for anything.
