Sharon graduated from the University of Redlands with a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics at the age of twenty. She began teaching that same year in a public Junior High School in California. During her three years there, she obtained her Master of Arts degree from Azusa-Pacific College with an emphasis in education administration.

Sharon moved to Germany where she taught for the Department of Defense Schools. She continued to move around as she married an Air Force soldier. After Germany came Texas, followed by Japan. Eventually she would also teach in New Mexico, Nebraska and Washington besides being a high school administrator in both Texas and Oregon. She retired as a high school principal in 2002, only to come out of retirement in 2008 to become involved in schools once more.

It was during her time in the schools that she linked the patterns in names to a person’s mindset or personality. She worked on figuring out the patterns of the different letters for fifteen years before she fully comprehended all of the nuances. Sharon took the opportunity to travel a large part of the world testing her theories for the first three years after retiring. Many people requested that she write a book so that they could learn what she had realized about names.

It was during this time that she wrote Know the Name; Know the Person, which was published in December 2006.  Since the publication of her book, she spends most of her time traveling and sharing Neimology with others.
