Our story

Welcome to our life!

We have been married for 30+ years and are the parents of four grown children. Our story started at Chicago's O'Hare airport in 1989 and it’s been a wild adventure ever since.

We both function as care workers and share a curiosity about the world and the people who live in it. Our passion aligns in a big-picture way of thinking that puts our lifestyles and problems in perspective. Our desire is to support people through life's major transitions in all the highs and lows.

A few important things about us and why we’re here:

We strongly believe that all people were created by God to live in relationship and in community.

We have learned that most people live with a longing for deeper, more meaningful connections.

We hope that by sharing what we've learned about human development and healthy relationships, we can show people that there is hope and that they are not alone.

Excited to walk this journey with you!
