Grew up in the mountainous foothills of beautiful Tucson, Arizona.
Moved in the middle of my senior year with my family to Allentown, PA. 
Went to BYU, and got Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Performance.
Met DC, and fell madly in love. Gave up plans for a mission and graduate school without much arm-twisting.

Exacto was born 14 months later, during our last year in Utah.
