Stories from the Tribe

Ann Miller: "Momsomnia"

Ann Miller is a self-described insomniac, lucky wife to C-PAP mask-wearing Todd, and proud mom to Josh and Eve. A fourth-generation leader in her family’s 107-year-old business, she embraces storytelling to preserve values and legacy. At 2 a.m., Ann loves to write about life, geek out on leadership development (her day job for nearly 30 years), and eat a sleeve of Thin Mint cookies -- which count for one serving. Her writing inspiration comes from daily three-mile nature walks, a sense of humor she inherited from her mother, and the abundance of stories that accompany this journey called life.
