Petra Estep is a powerhouse. Raised in the western suburbs of Chicago, Petra is a middle child with two brothers and grew up loving sports. She has always been determined to succeed at whatever she puts her mind to.
“Softball was my true passion leading me to pitch for The University of Chicago where I was later inducted into the University of Chicago Athletics Hall of Fame," Petra said. “After graduation, I joined Teach For America New Orleans to help get the students returning home after Hurricane Katrina back into the classroom. I met my husband, Thad, while in NOLA and knowing I did not want to teach forever, I followed him to Jacksonville in pursuit of a new career."
