Dacia is a book loving, gluten free eating, former marketing professional who has moved at least 12 times across 6 different states. She met her husband while running track at the University of Arkansas (Woo Pig Sooie!) and they later moved to Austin to pursue running professionally. After hanging up their racing shoes, and moving a few more times, Dacia and her husband currently reside in McKinney with their 2 kids, Avaya (2010) and Asher (2013). They absolutely love the area, spending time with their community, and are looking forward to putting down roots and staying awhile. Dacia is currently a stay-at-home mom who spends her days washing dishes, folding laundry and chasing after her kids who never seem to sit still. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking with her family, browsing through shops in downtown McKinney, and is currently training for her first obstacle course race.
