Aubrey was born in Cleveland, Ohio in November of 1976 and was named after the song Aubrey by the nostalgic group, Bread. Her Mother raised her, along-side her younger brother Beau, single-handedly. In the sting of the divorce of her parents at age six and the nip of lake effect, Aubrey quickly became acquainted with raw emotion and the constant tests on her growing character. There was very little support and money and although the atmosphere was grim, her Mother was determined to raise well-rounded, strong thriving children.
