The couple initially resided in Springfield while he pursued his education earning a degree in jet mechanics from Lane Community College. Their journey led them to purchase the family cabin in Tillamook and started their family in 1974.  Eventually, they settled in Tualatin, where they raised their children and spent the next 30+ years. In 2013 they purchased a farm in Estacada where he embraced the joys of farming.
