Since then she has had numerous opportunities in which to use her knowledge in business such as owning her own restaurants (Quiznos). Since selling the restaurants, she and her husband have pursued other business interests and that is where Peak Performance comes into the picture. Christina started as a patient of Lenore’s back in 2006 after spraining her ankle while walking her dogs. As she and Lenore discussed the finer points of business ownership, Christina asked if there was anything she could do to help Lenore with her business and so she began working for Lenore in a limited capacity to help market the clinic to the area doctors. Since then her role as a “patient turned employee” evolved into a permanent position on a full-time basis as her Office Manager. When she is not at work you can find her walking her brood of Three (3) Boxers!!! Woof!!;
