We were both born and raised on the east coast, but our paths only crossed once we were both living in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Thanks to some great mutual friends and an incident involving a wall, a handball, and Merrin’s face, we connected instantly and the rest is history. After spending many years in Michigan together, we decided to give the big city life a try and moved to San Francisco. After a year, we quickly realized that we were much more mountain folk and jumped on the first opportunity to move to Boulder. Life in Boulder has been nothing short of amazing – we added two new members of our family, Potato and Casserole (https://www.instagram.com/goldenpotatocasserole/), and recently got engaged on top of the mountain near Sunrise Amphitheater. We’re loving our time here, and love all of our neighbors, even the pack of wild turkeys that frequently visit our front yard.
