Ann O'Brien currently lives in Troy, Michigan with husband Dan O'Brien and son Danny whom she cares for full-time. She received her Bachelor's degree from Michigan State University in 1992 majoring in marketing.

God gave her a heart for "street children" while vacationing in Caracas, Venezuela. As a young girl, she was shocked to see such devastating poverty. She never forgot this experience.
