At the end of our lives, we would love to have a life worth reading about. We started our "Good Story" by selling most everything and traveling the U.S. in our "tiny house" RV for a year. After our RV trip we lived in the Dominican Republic doing humanitarian work for a year. We pledged a year of our life to serve human trafficking survivors. It was an amazing experience and we learned so much. We took an amazing three month trip to Thailand to decompress after seeing the horrors and trauma that trafficking causes. Just as in all stories, there are hardships and trials that must be endured. We have seen this as we lost our oldest son, Reece, to suicide on August 15, 2020. It is our ultimate goal to continue to move forward and live a good story amidst the nightmare of losing a child. We are glad you are here with on our journey!
