Sam was born and raised in Utah, to a very talented and musical family. He is the youngest of three children. Sam is a musician at heart--he studied classical piano since he was a young boy. In high school he learned to play the bass and enjoyed playing in orchestra, as well as jazz groups. He also taught himself to play guitar and enjoyed playing in a rock band.
He studied music in college, graduating with a Bachelors degree in Fine Arts in Music. There he performed in almost every music group that could use an electric or acoustic bass.Sam worked for several years, and then returned to school to get a Masters of Business Administration (MBA). He worked as the Vice President of Marketing for a small internet company for 6 years. A few years ago he left that job to start his own company. While he learned a lot, it was not the success we had hoped, and now he's working again as a Media Director for a local government agency.
Emily is the second of ten children. She grew up with six siblings, and her parents adopted three more when she was in college. She was raised in a very small town in western New York state, and attended the same high school as her mother and grandfather! One of the benefits of living in such a small community--Emily was able to be involved in everything! She was a cheerleader, student council president, co-editor of the yearbook.Emily went to college on a full-tuition scholarship and studied human development. She graduated at the top of her class and hopes to return to earn a Masters degree someday.
Before Adam was born, Emily worked full-time as an assistant director at a non-profit organization. After he arrived, she quit her job to be home full-time.
