Jan had her first dance lessons as a young child and was a member of her high school drill team. She was in the Dolphin Club, a water ballet team at the University of Georgia where she majored in Fine Arts/Art Education.
Jan and her husband Bill moved to Greensboro from Wilmington in 2016 to restore his grandfather’s old bottling plant and is co-owner this family-owned brewery and mother of five wonderful children.
She is honored to be asked initially by Ed Mulvey to be a part of the Dancing With Your Diamonds event. Her family’s brewery, Oden Brewing Company, has donated beer for this event for several years. She has so much love for The Arc of Greensboro and what they do for our local IDD community and their families. She is happy to be blessed with Garrett as her dance partner and lucky to have him as her wonderful moon walk instructor.
