Deb is a Practice Representative for Hollon Family Chiropractic. She has been a Hollon Family employee for over six years. When retiring from state government after more than 31 years of service she wanted to pursue a career at anything other than a desk job. The many years of sitting behind a computer took a toll on her body. Headaches were an everyday occurrence from looking at a computer, to lower back pain from sitting all day and then stomach pain from taking too many over the counter medications for pain. When the opportunity came along to work in a doctor's office planning events, marketing and networking she stepped into the role of Practice Representative. Deb is also an Ambassador of the Jefferson City Chamber of Commerce and a past Chamber Champion.
