Shelley and I met at Sylvan in 2003 when I participated in a week-long training and she was one of my trainers. In 2005, I moved to Baltimore to "be Shelley" and instead became close friends with one of the smartest, loveliest persons ever. She is the Godmother to Lily Rose. We enjoy knitting at bars, drinking wine, and traveling together.

Kristina lives in Hendersonville, TN, and also lived in NY, PA, NC, VA, and NJ. We Krawchuks don't like to sit still too long. Kristina and I lived together in Old Town Alexandria VA from 2012-2014 when I moved to NJ for my job. I could not walk down the aisle without my Sissy!

Christoph and I met in late July of 1981. He became my best friend instantly. From playing superheroes to Barbies, to attending college together to even sharing a birthday (he is one year older! shhhh)....we have been through a lot with each other. We haven't lived in the same city since I left for graduate school in 1997, but we are still two peas in a pod. Christoph spent about 13 years in NYC and is now back in Nashville.

I met Peter at Sylvan. Shelley met him in a class and got him hired and he instantly became part of the cool inner circle. Peter is originally from the Baltimore area and now lives in Burbank, CA. I am honored to have him as our officiant.
