Hobbies: Cooking, baking, and making memories! Topher and I have complementary skills, but I have more patience for baking, while Topher cooks creatively “from his soul”. I love animals and volunteering with animal rescues. Gardening and landscaping relax me.
My favorite childhood memory was when we took a family trip to Florida to pick up my oldest brother who had been in the Persian Gulf War. I’ll never forget the moment his aircraft carrier entered the dock with seamen lining the sides of the entire ship, saluting.

Why Adoption?
We both have known since we first met, that we want to be dads. We have worked long and hard to create a loving and safe home to raise a family. We have been blessed with the opportunity to adopt our daughter and hope to grow our family. Adoption is a very personal topic to us. Ben’s mother was adopted at birth, as was her brother. Ben’s parents also became certified foster parents to help a teenager in need. Having been through the process of adoption with our daughter, we strongly believe the best way to continue to grow our family is through adoption. We couldn’t be more excited to open our hearts and home to grow our family and add another member to the household to love and raise!
