Amy Herrig

Amy Herrig is a mother, wife, business owner, and lifelong Texan. She currently resides in Dallas with her family, but she also enjoys spending time in remote Alaska, helping run the family business there. She loves spending time in the outdoors, hiking and fishing, and she is a self-professed "foodie" who enjoys cooking with her family and hosting dinner parties for friends. Amy's family and friends are her top priority - her teenage twins are her world, and since she is an only child, many of her friends are like family. Amy is married to the love of her life, Dan, and they enjoy family time, traveling, and having date nights in their kitchen cooking together. She loves the Dallas Cowboys, dogs, movies of all genres, good conversations, exploring different views and opinions, and connecting with people on a deep level. She is almost always reading a good book, which she later discusses with her intimate book club of twelve years. Her strong faith has deepened over the years through trials and tribulations, and it is the backbone of her life. After overcoming negative circumstances in her teen years, at thirty-nine years old, Amy's world turned unexpectedly upside down. She decided to use her challenges and mistakes to connect with others and help people. She volunteers regularly and started a nonprofit called Hopeful Tuesdays to assist the homeless in her community. Her story is an example that faith and perseverance can lead to overcoming obstacles and that people can learn from their mistakes and use them to experience growth and self-improvement.
