Our Family:
We were married in June, 2007. After a few years of learning "how" to be married, finishing graduate work, and entering the working world, we welcomed our daughter, Justice, into our family in November, 2011. And in January of 2014, we welcomed our son, Micah. Together, we enjoy the outdoors, drinking coffee, reading a good book, and hanging out with our neighbors.
We now live and serve in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii as Missionary-Pastors.
