How did your love story begin?

We begin 1982 one fateful Texas Friday morning, riding to school on the bus! I heard Michelle’s name the first time from a mutual friend. Michelle would be visiting her from out of town for the weekend! 6 years later the twists and turns of life brought us through another mutual friend. “Wait! I’ve heard your name before!” Michelle had come to watch me play drums in a Rock Concert! Drummers, right?! Our first date was Putt Putt Golf and Michelle handily won! We were married in 1993!

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

We’re True Blue Texans, but our Hearts reside in the beauty of Northern New Mexico! Michelle is an avid Bronco Lady that loves over-landing trips, and her beloved little red Bronco (Lil’ Ruby) did her job taking us up 9500 feet to beautiful Lake Cabresto last Summer! It was a pinnacle moment of adventure that aligns authentically with our Life philosophy.

What would you do with $20,000?

John’s family origins trace back centuries to Northern Spain and the Alsace-Lorraine regions of France. We would take the trip of a lifetime with our children to experience the places from which their ancestors left for New Spain and later The Republic of Texas! It is a long held dream that would come to true!
