Jeff was the first person Amber matched with on the online dating app Bumble. Both new to the dating scene, they anticipated the first conversation might be difficult, but they spent hours chatting that night, laughing while getting to know one another. They bonded over the love of Excel pivot tables, the Ducks, and travel. These conversations proceeded for five days, until they had their first date at Gamberetti's Italian Restaurant, followed by a walk at the riverfront. At the end of the night Jeff asked Amber to hike the next day at Opal Creek and the rest is history.

Jeff surprised Amber with a proposal at the end of a day long, “Davinici Code”-esque, statewide scavenger hunt that included custom crosswords, puzzles, and treasure maps. The site of the big ask was Acadia Beach, where Amber and Jeff had their third and favorite date.

Jeff is a project engineer for ODOT. He made it to Oregon by way of Utah, but he's originally from California. He has three kids - Makenzie, Jaxson, and Jenna - and an abundance of cats he can't wait to be rid of. He is an avid backpacker and adventurer -- a love passed onto him from his dad -- and a big nerd, enjoying puzzles and crosswords before bed. 3 Things You Might Not Know About Jeff: * He lived in Argentina for 2 years while serving a mission for his church. He still is fluent in Spanish and drinks traditional Argentine tea (yerba mate) every day. * He has read the Harry Potter series three times. He believes it is the greatest book series ever written. * He once had his pinky toe ripped off while filming a rugby scene for his friend's college senior project. Despite several doctors not knowing what to do, he still has his pinky toe and it still works - he will never play any sport barefoot again. Amber is a director of surgical support services for Salem Health. As a long-time Oregonian, she is used to, yet still hates the constant rain. She has three boys - Jackson, Hudson, and Benjamin (Benny) - and as such, knows far more about Legos, Pokemon, and Minecraft than she'd rather. She shares Jeff's love of travel and new adventures but too is a big nerd - pretty much everything she ever does is in Excel (budgets, plans, and more). 3 Things You May Not Know About Amber: * She was the FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) state champion in Marketing having never taken a marketing class. * She has an extreme hate of all things vinegar - smell, taste, you name it! She's also super picky about lots of other foods. * A political science major, Amber lived and worked in Washington, D.C. twice; as an intern she used to give tours of the US Capitol Buildings. Together, they look to take their Brady Bunch of a family on a wealth of new adventures and experiences and establish a home full of love and laughter and game nights for the days and years to come.
