We met in 1983 in Barrington, Illinois (at the end of this driveway here) when our families moved next door to each other. About 18 years later we started “dating” and eventually decided to spend the rest of our lives together.

Our wedding was in Neskowin in 2006. Rohm was born in 2007 and about 10 months later we made the decision to raise the kids in Portland. Ozzie came in 2010. We all live in a small house in NE Portland. We like going to the beach, enjoying Portland life, and spending time with our families. We have a dog named Bea that makes appearances in our photos and videos; there are also two cats (Luta and Dudie) that it seems are going to stick around forever.
