Our Town: TRPA's public relations chief a chocoholic music lover

Julie Regan married the same man three times, she tells people. Regan and husband Kevin Regan, an artist, eloped in 1993, moving from Delaware to Lake Tahoe to tie the knot.

The couple was married at Regan Beach (apropos, no?) on Valentine's Day. She said she wore hiking boots to hike over a snowbank and slipped into her heels before the ceremony.

In June of that year, they had a large wedding at her parents' farm in Delaware, then an Irish Catholic wedding in November to satisfy her husband's parents.

Regan, who is the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency's communications and legislative affairs chief, now manages communication, public education, media outreach, customer service and legislative affairs for the environmental organization. She's worked at the agency for four years but has worked in the communications industry for 20 years.

In her spare time, Regan cross-country skis, bikes and kickboxes. She also recently earned her green belt in tae kwon do.

Her husband, along with her best friend of 12 years, Kathy Strain, tried to guess Regan's answers to a series of questions. Let's see how well they did:

What's your favorite food?
Julie: "Anything chocolate would be my favorite food. I do enjoy excellent gourmet meals, but anything chocolate would have to be favorite."

Kevin: "Julie's favorite food. Um, let's see ... We lived in Key West and had a lot of fresh fish - so sushi. We'd go out in our boat and dive down and get lobsters and fresh oysters."

Kathy: "You know, she makes a killer homemade mac and cheese. But I think that's one of Kevin's favorites. I'd have to say sushi, because that's what we usually have when we meet for lunch."
