I have known Robert for more than 30 years. We have navigated some intense and exciting waters along the way. As a musician Robert blesses the world with unique tunes that you have likely heard on TV or while watching your favorite NFL teams play. More like a brother than a friend I am blessed to have him as my best man.

Sarah and Ericka have known each other for 16 years! Sarah knows me better than most and probably prayed the hardest for Christian to arrive :) Sarah's story is full of power and restoration and I am always amazed at how God uses her. We have both been through so much along our life's journey, and it is really special to see how God is using our stories to help those around us. Sarah has influenced my life greatly, is always there, and her friendship is greatly treasured!

Stacey is the kindest, most compassionate , authentic girl I know. She values relationship and has set a great example of surrendering herself to others. God brought Stacey and I together to start a non-profit called stepping into His image (aka siHi), empowering women to see themselves as valued, loved and wonderfully made in God's image. I was pretty sad when Stacey and her family moved back to South Carolina, because I value our friendship beyond words! I can't wait to have her back in Cali to celebrate this special day that she ALWAYS believed would happen. What a journey it has been!

My brother Jon is the middle of the pack for the three of us boys. Engineer by day and amazing dad by night he always adds a good vibe to my life. Always the smartest person in any room he enters Jon is someone that can always be counted on for good sound advice.

Danielle is the absolute best sister-in-law and mom to my nieces! She has a sacrificial heart and has been an important part of my life for many years! Dani has been there for me through many challenging seasons of my life and she is such an important part of our family. Also, you should of seen her face when Christian proposed--I will never forget her joy, and tears of excitement! Love you sis!

My brother Nick is jokester of the family. Count on the guy to take nothing seriously unless it comes to his family and friends. Nick's brain is packed with all kinds of ideas for business and leisure,... the creativity just seems to flow out of him. So glad to have him as my baby bro!

Everyone needs a Christen in their life! She is one of the MOST encouraging, authentic and sold-out sisters that I have had the privilege of knowing. She is an amazing momma of 3 littles, and a game-changer in the Kingdom of God. She always knows the right thing to say in a time of need and can sure make you laugh! I love our friendship and I look forward to learning from her in the future.

My one and only son joins me in the line up on my special day. Daniel is super smart and always has an interesting and unique take on almost everything. So appreciative of the teen he is today and looking forward to the man he will become in the future.

I was introduced to Chelsea some years back by Sarah. We quickly bonded and as the dream/idea was formed for siHi (our non-profit) she was a huge advocate, prayer support and friend. Chelsea is a great truth teller and always gives great insight! I love spending time with her cracking up and remembering the importance of making time to invest in friendships. She is a great wife and momma, and an amazing hair dresser :) and I love having her in my life!

Dave is pretty much the king of the ocean when it comes to body boarding. The boy got skills, plain and simple! Whether he's puttin' in work as dad to his girls or husband to Dani his efforts don't go unnoticed. Very excited to have him as my future brother in law.

Rylee is my super awesome almost 16 year-old niece! Rylee changed my life when she was born...I had an awakening in my heart that I had never felt before! Rylee has grown up to be a strong, courageous, driven girl, who is dedicated to what she believes in. She loves her little sis Kiki alot, is great at track & volleyball and perseveres in her studies. I recently had the honor of baptizing her, and it was one of my favorite (and most prayed for) days in my life! I love being her auntie, and it's also pretty cool that her middle name is ERICKA :)

I've had the privilege of getting to know Nick through Mariners and beyond, and I'm glad the guy exists! He's pretty much that balance of calm, confidence, and openness.... just someone you would want in your corner in any season. Appreciative of who he is and for his friendship.

Christine and I connected through siHi 5 years ago! She loved the vision of stepping into His image, and has made an impact in so many lives throughout the years. Christine is a great coach and teacher, and ALWAYS comes up with great ways for people to connect and STAY connected. During the last year, she has stepped into more of a leadership role in siHi with praying, coaching/mentoring leaders, helping with admin all the while encouraging me along the way. She is a true friend who has seen me in times of fear and doubt, but always remains steady and reminds me of God's faithfulness. I am beyond thankful for our friendship!

I met Lysa in 2005, while I was teaching fitness classes for 24 hour fitness. She was always one of my biggest cheerleaders in classes, and would follow me to a few of the locations that I taught at! We met at a time in my life when I was still searching for the truth about who I was...boy, I was kind of a mess, but Lysa never gave up on me! I watched her step into marriage, have children and maintain a stressful career. I was always impressed by her determination but even more touched by her heart for me. I am so grateful that God brought us together those 13 years ago, and I know He has great things in store for my beautiful sister!
