Angela makes her home on an exclusive lake in Texas, nestled between Houston's elite vacation estates.  As a global executive in sports, Angela jet-sets frequently throughout the United States, Canada, and Japan. She also maintains a second home in the Southern California area to accommodate her LA business demands and to assist her pop star daughter, Elle Brightly, with her singing career.

As the wife of a surgeon, Angela also keeps a high-level life style filled with entertaining in her beautiful home and event appearances. With a college graduate son starting adult life, a college athlete son, a pageant queen daughter, and a pop star daughter, it's a fast paced life with her four children! Add to it serving on multiple boards and foundations, but Angela wouldn't have it any other way.

Angela's lifestyle walks a balance of a female executive, working in the world of beautiful people in a cut-throat industry versus the family life of a doctors wife raising her kids.  She is no stranger to corporate dynamics and the power of a woman in business, it's all a part of her days' work.
