About

We are taking a break from the 9-5 to explore the world and improve our mental and physical health.

Jacobb: I spent the last 15-ish years as an engineer at Luxel Corporation supplying the world with ultra-thin, free-standing films for use in space and science communities. Growing up on Orcas Island, I spent many hours in the water swimming and scuba diving. My degree from Western Washington University was funded by commercial diving (dirtiest jobs in the world style). It took me 5 years to complete because of all of the skiing at Mount Baker! I also hold a 50 ton masters license (captains license). Now I am working on my surfing abilities (not great yet, but improving!) and this website.

Leslie: My wife is awesome. She spurred our first overseas experience, leading the way to New Zealand for a year. It was there that, under a waterfall, I proposed! The current adventure to Europe is more of my doing, but she is incredibly supportive. In fact she has jumped into reading growth oriented books (one of our goals) much faster than me. Leslie is originally from Montana. Even though she is gorgeous and into fashion, the Montana girl shows once in a while 😉. The last 13-ish years of her life has been dedicated to improving the posture and movement of people through Pilates. Since Theo was born, she has only worked with a few clients, but has started a website in an effort to help even more people. Check out BABYlateez.com.

Theo: The newest member of our family! He was born the end of January last year, making him just over a year old when we took off. Reading through this site you will notice he is featured often. There is something about curious innocence that puts a better spin on any situation. He sets our schedule, makes all of our new friends, and is a great alarm clock!
