On the Go…
with Cindy Trestman
For this issue of Peachy, we talked with Cindy Trestman, wife of Marc Trestman,
head coach of the Chicago Bears. She was fun, lively and passionate as she shared
with us, among others, her favorite places to shop with her daughters; her dedication to raising awareness and funding to benefit Alzheimer’s research; and her
thoughts on life as a coach’s wife.
“I was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and I
have a brother and sister who still live
there, as well as many close friends.
Cleveland will always be home to
me. I actually met Marc in Cleveland!
He was working with the Cleveland
Browns at the time and I was working
at a clothing store called Hemisphere.
His father noticed me first. He said:
‘Hey, check her out!’
“The Chicago Bears is a wonderful
organization. I am so grateful and
appreciative of being the head coach’s
wife. At the same time, I’m independent. I have to be because I spend a lot
of time without my husband. I always
said I could never be married to a man
with a 9-to-5 job!” The best part of
being a coach’s wife? “Going to the
games.” The worst? “Losing a game
and waking up the next morning.”
As for a bit of time-out from hectic
days… “I am passionate about painting, especially for family and friends.
And I love just hanging with them!”
