Story
It was love at first oyster...well not exactly but we definitely knew there was something in the salt water.
We met on the eastern shore of MD but our journey takes us far from there. We have traveled to six different countries, lived in three of them and have traveled the US by car, plane, train, bike and our own two feet. The one constant other than change over the past seven years has been our relationship to each other. A relationship where we have grown individually and collectively whether apart or together.
After roughly knowing each other nine months, Todd asked me to run a summer business with him the following summer in New Hampshire. Cue the google search, as I had never been north of New York. Experiencing running a business for the first time with this man was when I truly saw the magnificent gift I had been blessed with. This gift has kept on giving throughout the past seven years, and now forever!
