DEDICATED & COMPASSIONATE

Jennifer has lived in Indiana all her life, growing up in Kokomo and moving to Fort Wayne in 2006. Jennifer has practiced law in Fort Wayne her entire career, and her husband has been a local high school teacher and coach in Fort Wayne throughout that time.

 

Gary and Jennifer live in Fort Wayne with their two children, Alexandria (9) and Hobson (7).  Jennifer is a Chicago Cubs baseball fan and Hoosier basketball fan. It is always a happy day when the McKibben Family gets to sing "Go Cubs Go" at the end of the game.
