We are thankful we found the love of our lives in each other. Destiny put us together at the same workplace wellness center, just before Valentine's Day 2017. The chemistry was instant! What do we have in common? We share a love for a healthy lifestyle, and an uncanny agreement of flavors and foods and nearly everything else, this includes pickles, sauerkraut, Zevia, the Mountains of Tennessee, and Butterscotch Moonshine. We have this uncanny agreement on most things including our cake flavors...almost everything except how cold to put the air conditioning. Ross was born in Long Island, NY and Florida has been a second home for him and most of his New York family and friends. Born Jewish, (spiritual not religious,) his German last name Gottlieb means "God's love" in German. He is a lifelong martial artist and wellness ninja, currently addicted to Brazilian Jiu-JItsu and working towards his Purple Belt. Marisa was born in Knoxville, TN and she grew up in Venezuela. She comes from a mixed ethnic background. Her mother is Venezuelan (with a cocktail of genes from Spain, Italy, France, and God knows what else), while her father is Persian (although Marisa's paternal grandmother was Turkish). The last name "Heshmatpour", means "Men of Glory". Marisa is a journalist and she also finds joy in arts: painting, handcrafts, drawings, cinematography, theater, and dance. She has been a vegan for the past few years and is her goal to be a healthy living and anti-aging role model, as well as an advocate for the conservation of the planet and its life. Where are we and where are we going? We both want to keep pursuing self-growth in all areas of our lives because we believe we should never stop evolving into the best version of ourselves. It is our dream to support each other for the rest of our lives to achieve these goals and dreams. We see ourselves retiring in a place with mountains where we keep loving and taking care of one another.
