Derby Position Team Captain, Jammer, Blocker

Real Name Katie Mae Peters

Profession Banker, Manager for TEAM USA roller derby, and Freelance Filmmaker/Writer

Origin of your Derby name Since I perfected my crossovers on a theater stage between performances, it's a tribute to the famous stage & film actress Vivien Leigh (Gone with the Wind)

How Long Have you Been Skating? Four score and seven years... okay a year and a half

Why Derby? I'm a "Yes-Man." I want to die a well rounded person who lived life to the fullest and leave behind a collection of accomplishments to inspire others to chase their dreams no matter how crazy or difficult or odd. Plus this sport is the shiz!

What positive aspect has derby brought to your life?Amazing friends all over the world as well as some much needed cool points.

I can't leave the house without...?... Are you kidding me? Everything I could possibly need is in my car.

Likes Cadbury Eggs, 5 Hour Energy Shots, KFC mashed potato bowls, Yoga Pants, BondiBands, This American Life Podcasts, Veronica Mars, Ayn Rand, and people who smile.

Dislikes Tights that snag on my velcro, the disgusting stench that imbedded itself in my skate gear, and Iggy Pop without a shirt.

What are your non-derby hobbies/activities/hidden talents? I have two associate degrees in theater and recently took up the sport of dog sledding.
