Lori Ann was born and raised in Yorkton, Sask. and began playing volleyball at the age of 14. Volleyball has been very rewarding to her. It has given her the opportunity to travel all around the world; Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, Czechoslovakia, Cuba, Japan, Argentina, Dominican Republic, Netherlands, Poland, England, Mexico, and numerous places throughout the United States and Canada. It was a challenging and fun career and one that has blessed her with many fond memories and experiences.
