Get to Know Me
Welcome to the personal corner on my portfolio site! I’m Jen Krutsch (just say "crutch"), although you might have come across the name S. Jennifer Krutsch on my resume. The 'S' stands for Shannyn, my first name, but Jen is the name I've always embraced.
​
I hail from the beautiful surroundings of Orange County, CA, where I was born and raised, and have lived in Southern California all my life.
Family means the world to me - I’m happily married to my wonderful husband Corey, and together we are proud parents to our two remarkable children. Taylor, our daughter, is a recent graduate from UC Berkeley, while our son, Mason, is currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, focusing on Cyber Security at San Francisco State University.
​
Travel ignites our collective spirit, and we find great joy in our frequent visits to Disneyland, a place that holds countless cherished memories for us as long time passholders to the parks.
​
Our home is a bustling sanctuary for our extended family of pets. We share our home with Chanel, our spoiled and affectionate French Bulldog, and Roxy, our sweet and kind Pitbull Terrier mix. The feline members of our family include two exotic Bengal brothers, Bambu and Bali, and two Domestic Short Hair rescues, Chance and Otis. Taylor and Mason's cats Dahlia and Samui respectively, live with our kids but are very much a part of the family as well.

Join me here to catch a glimpse of my life, passions, and the occasional musings about our adventures at home and beyond!

This is my Grandpa, Jerry Odette. He is my hero. My grandpa is a three-time Purple Heart and Legion of Merit recipient who served our country in the Air Force and Navy for over thirty years. Every time that I visit him, we take selfies together. My grandpa will be 98 years old in August 2024. He is kind, funny, caring, gentle and a little bit stubborn, just like his grandaughter.
