About Us

Josh loves running and takes full advantage of the steep hills and regional parks nearby. I am in a rowing club and also enjoy climbing, backpacking, and snowboarding. We also have pets: an 11-year-old German Shepherd upstairs, and two cats downstairs.
We keep the kitchen tidy, cook often, and respect each other's space.
