Alisa has lived in Tulsa since 1991 and is married to a Tulsa native. She and her husband, Charles, are passionate about Boston Terriers, as evidenced by their years of commitment to Boston Terrier and Short Nose Rescue of Oklahoma. They are members of Tulsa Dog Training Club and are involved with PawPals, the Therapy Dog Group from Tulsa Dog Training Club. When not volunteering for BTSNRO, you might find them at the Tulsa PAC, the movie theatre, or watching their beloved Steelers on a big screen someplace in Tulsa or working out, much to Charles’ chagrin!
