We really enjoy working together on DIY home and self improvement projects. As much as we can, we try and rope the children into our craziness. The Dallas Texas area has been our home since 2015. Prior, we lived in the Vancouver Washington area for 13 years.

Kristen grew up on a five acre hobby farm in Oregon. Chickens, horses, cattle, and her father and mother renovating a 100 year old farm house were everyday experiences for her. She would rather be caught outside doing projects than hanging around the inside of the house doing traditional “mom work” – especially in Spring and Summer.

In high school Bryan took a woodshop class and he stayed with that class for an additional 3 years, spent a summer working in a cabinet shop, and a year for an interior design company installing furniture and décor in single family model homes. He is very successful in the multi-family housing industry and is very focused on revenue. DIY projects give him a creative outlet and allows him to work with his hands and not just his mind.
