Our story

Our story started at Chicago's O'Hare airport in 1989 and it’s been a wild adventure ever since. Now we’ve been married 33+ years, raised 4 kids, and are enjoying being grandparents.

We both work in caretaking professions and share a curiosity about the world and the people who live in it. Our passions align in a big-picture way of thinking that puts our lifestyles and problems in perspective. Our desire is to support people through the joys and challenges of life's major transitions.

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 provide a hope-filled perspective and let you know you’re not alone.

Excited to walk this journey with you!
