My dad is my world. He's caring, silly, and the most lovable person. He's a retired police officer, of 30 years, and started his career by serving 7 years in the United States Air Force. My dad loves movies and can carry on an entire conversation in just movie quotes. He is an avid G Scale engineer and constructor, so please ask him about his trains!! I am so thankful for all that he has done for our family, and the world wouldn't be the same without him.

My momma is my idol. She is happy, go lucky, and always pushing me to do my best. She is retired from the local school districts. She worked in the cafeteria and drove Forest Hills buses for 12 years. She made lasting impressions to all the kids she met and worked with. She is an artsy person, and weaves on her antique weaving loom, and taught me everything I know about the art of scrapbooking.

When I first met Ryan's mom, I was not sure that we were going to get along well. Then I found someone who is just as silly, loud, and goofy as me! She is a very loving and passionate human being that always puts others before herself, but really knows how to have a fun time. She has worked in real estate for almost 40 years. She has 4 lovely children, the youngest being Ryan, and has so warmly welcomed me to be a part of her family.

Probably Ryan's favorite person in the whole world, and Ryan's biggest fan. Rick has been blessed with Ryan as his only child. He is a great mentor not only to Ryan, but to many through sports, and life. He is a kind, quiet soul, that readily enjoys a great glass of yellow tail. He is retired from real estate after nearly 50 years. Rick is an avid supporter of his Cincinnati teams and enjoys the funnies every day in the paper. I am so thankful how he welcomed me into the family so warmly.
