I have been married to Steve Starcher (aka the other Dr. Starcher) for more than 50 years. We both teach at Fresno Pacific University. I am a full-time professor in the business department, and Steve is an adjunct professor who teaches in the TUG, DC and MBA programs.

We have two adult children, both married and living in the Fresno area. Our youngest daughter and her husband have two children, three dogs and one cat, while our oldest daughter and her husband have one dog. In our family, dogs are equal to kids, so we lovingly refer to them as our “grand dogs.”

Steve and I also have two large, spoiled dogs, Hobie and Lucas, who love chasing the ball and playing keep-away.
