I am Trina (Weishar) Kropka. A proud mommy of 2 ( Campbell 2 years 9 month’s old and Colby 6 months old), Chief Clinical Dietitian at East Ohio Regional Hospital and wife to Harrison Central’s head football coach (Justin). I was born and raised in Wheeling, West Virginia. Attended Middle Creek Elementary, St. Michaels Grade School, 1996 graduate of Wheeling Central Catholic High School, 2000 graduate of West Virginia Wesleyan College and 2001 graduate of Ruby Memorial’s dietetic internship program.

I am very much a family girl. My parents (Tom and Peggy Weishar) and only sibling (Tammi Secrist) live locally; most of my free time is spent with them. We spend a lot of time at high school football games as I mentioned earlier my husband is the head football coach at Harrison Central and my brother-in-law (Curt Secrist) is a football coach at Martins Ferry High School. I love a good Italian dinner (best when made by someone else :)), a book that is total fiction (I’ve got enough fact in my life) reality TV (yes I’d admit, I’m a reality TV junkie), playing with my babies and nephew (Joe Joe), shopping for just about anything, vacations (especially to Disney World) and getting together with my girlfriends.

There is a lot of craziness in my life, I’m always on the go traveling from job to job, taxing the babies from home to sitter and making endless trips to the store for diapers, formula and caffeine. I’d like to say my life is organized and calm, but honestly, it’s anything but! I don’t get enough sleep, have piles of dirty laundry, often can’t find matching socks and buy pizza for dinner at least once a week, but at the end of the day, I couldn’t be happier. I have healthy babies, a husband I’m in love with, a job I enjoy and the comfort of having my parents, sister and good friends just minutes away. Life is crazy, but life is pretty good!
