We met 18 years ago at Cascade Cuts, a wholesale plant nursery in Bellingham, Washington where we were both employed at the time. We became instant friends and usually spent our lunches discussing music, climbing and the meaning of life, which at the time was pretty much music and climbing! I moved to California and Steve went on to raise two amazing boys, Liam and Gavin. We got back in touch 17 years later and we have been inseparable ever since.
