About

Crissy Herron, Founder of IndieBizChicks.com

Hi. I’m Crissy. And writing this bio in third person, on my own blog, would be stupid. So, I’m writing in first person.

I started IndieBizChicks.com, a  website “ for women who’d rather work for themselves, than work for the man,” in the summer of 2007.

And while I say this site is for “women,” it’s totally okay to read it if you’re a dude.

I guess if you’re reading this, you probably want to know a little bit about me, huh?

Well, for starters, I am proud to say that I am a Michigan girl, born and raised. I lived in Alaska for a long time… but I’ve been back in the mitten since 2008.

Thanks to my sister, I have two awesome nephews, and I consider myself the “world’s best aunt,” so don’t argue with me on that.

I take a lot of pictures, and I’ve got tons of scrapbook supplies (which are all neatly organized). I heart books and music. And speaking of music, I always find a way to work in a shout-out for my favorite bands, Motion City Soundtrack and Farewell Continental. If you’ve never heard of them, go listen.

I like to cook and bake. I’m pretty good at it, too, if I do say so myself. (and if you don’t believe me, just ask my friends or my family.. or my favorite bands.)
