She was a chearleader in junior high, but in high school, got into the arts and theater. She was even a member of a 'magic' troupe at one time. In the middle of her senior year of high school, the family moved from Connecticut to Florida. In high school, Debbie had a weight problem, and got teased from kids at school about it. Debbie became interested in fitness during her first marriage, as her husband owned a gym. When Debbie was overweight, she made the decision to lose that weight forever! Debbie went to her first show in 1988 when she saw an ad in a fitness journal for the National Fitness show. She placed in the top ten.
In 1997, Debbie made over 100 Christmas cards herself, all handmade. She also makes many of her competition costumes herself. She appeared on the Howard Stern radio and television show on 'E' channel in 1997. Debbie's current boyfriend is Lee Apperson. In 1998, Boris Vallejo, an artist, created a fantasy portrait of Debbie for his calendar.
