Karen Brock was born and raised in Cary and currently lives in Raleigh with her husband, Rob. They have a golden lab/German shepherd mix dog named Shelby.
Karen spends her free time with her husband, Rob. They enjoy visiting new places and looking for local art. One of their favorite trips (so far) was to the Amish Country near Lancaster, Pennsylvania. They particularly enjoyed the hand made furniture, quilts, foods, and friendly people. They usually visit Seagrove, North Carolina, several times a year to hunt for pottery and tiles. They also love to visit places where Shelby can join them.
Karen enjoys watching movies, reading a good book, and listening to music. Her all time favorite movie is Back to the Future. She enjoys reading books to stay current on financial issues, as well as 'fun' books with a little intrigue or mystery involved. Her favorite music includes big band jazz, standards, and 80s music, with her favorite artist being Harry Connick, Jr.
As an alumnus of the Cary High School Marching Band, Karen has volunteered for their annual Cary Band Day event for many years.
