Born and raised in San Diego, I’ve been loving life in Spokane for the past two years. At 32, I’m married to my high school sweetheart, and we have two amazing kids: a 6-month-old girl and a 3-year-old boy. We’re fully embracing the Spokane lifestyle with our 9 goats, 2 sheep, 32 chickens, and 4 dogs.
Living in a lively multi-generational home with my parents and my sister’s family, we’re always on the lookout for exciting family activities on the weekends, whether it’s exploring one of Spokane’s great parks or visiting a farmer’s market. As a millennial, I love my emotional support Stanley, Taylor Swift, and reality TV. Let’s have some fun together!
