About Me

My photo
I was born in California and spent 7 of the first 10 years of my life moving all over the world because my dad was in the military (including Indiana, Virginia, and Italy). We moved back to California when I was 10. I went to college at Pepperdine University (Public Relations/Marketing major) and worked in LA for nearly 10 years before moving to Ft. Worth, TX in 2009. Right after college I worked in the movie business and for the last 7 years have been working in aerospace (first in finance, now program management). I just recently completed an MBA program at the University of Texas at Arlington. I have a 2-year-old puppy named Matty (lab/husky mix), who helped inspire this blog - read the "Naming the Blog" post. She is the definition of unconditional love!

Naming the blog

My favorite Yankee is Don Mattingly and his nickname is “Donnie Baseball” so when I got my first puppy in September 2010, naming the dog after him was a given. But the puppy was a girl.

How do I name a girl dog after one of the toughest baseball players to have played the game? I’ve got it: Donna Mattingly – that’s clearly an appropriate name for a dog, right? But if that’s her “given” name I’m not going to say, come here Donna Mattingly every time I want to call her so I settled on Matty.

So, when I was convinced by my friends to start this blog – the naming of it felt so natural and obvious…Donna Baseball.

Thank you to Melanie, Tina and Gretchen for your inspiration and support – I love you girls so much!
