Bianca, born in South Africa, raised in sunny California, migrated north to Seattle in 2016 seeking adventure and mountains. She's a lifelong lover of any activity that puts the wind in her hair, passionate about improving peoples' lives through her career of physical therapy, and enjoys reading about, making, and eating food. Has explored over 25 countries with very little more than a backpack and running shoes. Can be found on the ski slopes, trails, and beaches with her trusty dog Jade. Ross, born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, spent over 30 years waiting for a special California girl to show up in the land of rain and trees! Loves the outdoors, Husky Football, delighting his friends and family with bad jokes, and traveling anywhere with a beach or mountain. Some may say he's obsessed with fishing, hunting, and his dog Kirby - but he likes to think he has a well rounded set of hobbies. Ross adores his niece and nephew, and is an honorary resident of Long Prairie, Minnesota. The couple met on St. Patrick's Day 2017 and ended the night eating dumplings at a back alley restaurant late into the evening. Ross kept asking her out, Bianca kept saying yes (to the surprise of many), and Ross invited her to everything from Eric Church concerts with his nosy friends to wet beaches with requests for her to pull up crab and shrimp pots. Bianca returned the favor with karaoke nights with her friends, repeatedly putting wet and sandy dogs in his car, and strapping him to skis. Bianca and Ross have built their life in Seattle. Together they enjoy weeknight dinners, dog parks, fishing boats, new places, cooking, supporting their teams, hiking trails, and Saturday mornings with coffee and dogs in bed. They appreciate time with their loving families: Bianca's parents Andrea and Michael, Bianca's brother Joe and his fiance Hannah, Ross' father Paul and his partner Venka, mother Jana and his step-dad Bob, siblings Mason and his wife Karen, and little sister Kayli!
