It's tough to say which one of us loves the dance floor more (Ryan won't admit it, but you'll see)
Ryan and I met through our jobs in the journalism industry. Story-telling is engrained in the way we see the world. Our own story had plenty of twist and turns that led us to where we are today, so we know how significant it is that you found each other.
