About Us
Our Story
We met one evening while out with friends in Austin, Texas. It was love at first sight for both of us and we were married a year and a half later in the Bahamas with close friends and family by our side.
Some people fall in love with somebody very similar to them. We’re the exact opposite! Our differing personalities add so much strength to our relationship and family life. We are well equipped to see each other's blind spots, we come at problems from different angles which helps us figure out the best way through challenges and, most importantly, it helps us parent. We happen to have three very different little people!
We enjoy life together and feel fortunate to have found one another.
Here's a bit about our kids!
Penelope: (8) Her cat, Thunder, lives in her room. She calls him her son and will tell people we meet on the street that she has a child!
June: (6) He's always been our cautious guy, however, he’s absolutely fearless on his bike!
Rhys: (4) It’s his mission in life to always be eating two apples at once.
Our Home
We live in a wonderful, gated, 5-bedroom, spacious 5000 sqft. house at the end of a cul-de-sac. It overlooks the mountains and we have a kid friendly backyard.
Our house is within walking distance of a large park, downtown eateries and hundreds of hiking trails. We love the change of seasons in Boise because there's always something to do! We never miss the Balloon Festival, Halloween at Lowe Family Farmstead or trick or treating on Harrison Street (it's a party!). Come Christmas, we’re meeting Santa at the Boise Mall and on Easter, we’re on the Boise State football stadium’s Smurf Turf for their annual Easter Egg hunt.

I grew up with parents who pushed me and my brothers to go out and explore! As a child, my father was a contractor with the Army. This took me and my family from upstate New York to Germany for two years. This experience instilled in me a great appreciation for other cultures and, upon graduating highschool I became a Rotary Exchange Student in Ecuador. It was here that I learned conversational Spanish. Eventually, I joined the USAF where I spent four years serving our country as a Loadmaster on a C-17 aircraft.
I’ve always lived for new experiences, connecting with others, winning a challenge (we’re very competitive in our house!) and exploring new places. In Boise, this means spending most of my free time weight lifting, hiking, doing puzzles with my son Julien, and traveling every chance I get!

Bonjour enchanté,
As a young child, my family immigrated to snowy Edmonton, Canada from India. It was here that I learned to speak both English and conversational French, and watched a lot of hockey! At 20, I moved to the U.S. so I could pursue my dream of becoming an optometrist. After working as a CEO/Optometrist for about 10 years, I sold my offices and now spend my time managing various investments. My passions include fishing around the world (even though I love the Boise River), lifting weights, and traveling to unique places- summiting a volcano in Guatemala and kayaking in South Africa are some of my most memorable thus far!
