Meet Our Family! We’re a lively, social family of four—born and raised by the sunny beaches of Southern California, where the ocean was always just a few minutes away. In July 2025, we took a leap of faith and traded the West Coast for the East, moving to Montgomery, NY. Our goal? To be closer to our son and daughter serving in Wallkill and embrace the rhythm of commuting ourselves., all while keeping our family’s roots strong. Our journey is driven by one simple mission: to live with our hearts open, ready to say yes to the opportunities Jehovah presents. We have tried to live the life we hope for our children—to stay curious, to grow, and to embrace the beauty of each day. Adventures Abroad Our most transformative experience was living in Thailand for four years, where we had the privilege of being part of a Thai congregation with our children. It was an incredible chapter of growth, learning, and connection with people from all walks of life. That time in Thailand left us with memories that will last a lifetime and taught us how to live more mindfully and intentionally. In addition to our time in Thailand, we’ve been fortunate enough to preach and connect with people in many different places—Cambodia, Albania, Italy, Ireland, Mexico, Costa Rica for 6 months, and beyond. Each country, culture, and experience has added a unique layer to our story, shaping who we have become. What We Love We’re explorers at heart, and that means we love everything about travel—different cultures, new foods, the thrill of adventure, and meeting people from all over the world. Whether it’s wandering the streets of Bangkok, savoring pasta in Italy (yes, Italy again!), or finding hidden gems in unexpected corners of the globe, we thrive on the beauty of change and the excitement of the unknown. Home is where we bring all those experiences together. We love to cook, share meals, and create spaces where everyone feels welcome. Feeding people is our love language—it’s how we connect, celebrate, and share the joy of life serving Jehovah. When we’re not cooking, traveling, or making memories, you’ll find us dancing to our favorite tunes or kicking back to a good movie on the couch (with candles, of course!). While we adore the wisdom of the Bible, and all our spiritual food, you’re more likely to catch us snuggled up with a film than a recreational book.
