When we look back at our story, it feels like the invisible string theory at work. We first met at a fitness conference in Newark, NJ, and our paths continued to cross at global industry events over the next few years. We started as friends supporting each other's goals and hyping each other up, and then flirting led to joking about a "back up marriage." Finally, it took us to Cairo, Egypt where we fell in love and had our first kiss on the Nile River. Now we're married with a son, Cairo.

In 2022, we gave up our lease in LA and made our dreams come true of becoming traveling nomads. Over 4 months we met with international friends & clients, and worked remote in France, UK, Austria, and Australia. It felt like a great balance between personal happiness and gratitude for where our careers took us. We will never forget the once in a lifetime opportunities of biking in Versailles, winning gold at a European jiu jitsu tournament, and befriending a koala bear.

We have a deep passion for coaching at-risk youth in the Greater Los Angeles area in fitness, martial arts/ self defense, and business/ finances. The $20,000 would go a long way to help support these programs and supply the kids with the resources they need to thrive. These organizations include The Playground, React Adaptive, and Mosaic Global. And we'd love to take our baby boy on his first trip outside of California on a family vacation!
