Introduction to our Family

Lynn and I met at college in August of 2000. We started dating about 6 weeks after and married 3 years later. We enjoyed the first several years of marriage in Sonoma County as a couple before starting our family and moving to Placer County to be closer to both of our parents and Brooke's brother and his family.
 
We welcomed Abby in 2011 & Luke in 2014.
