How others describe me

A Little About Our Lives Together

We share a love of everything outdoors - from backpacking to rock climbing, kayaking to snowboarding. We are lucky to have a small boat launch in our neighborhood, which we love to use to launch our kayaks or to just let our doggo Sunny Rae run around and swim. When we hear the mountains calling, we drive 4 hours out towards Asheville, NC for hiking and climbing in Pisgah National Forest.

We love working with our hands and are frequently tackling some sort of DIY project around the house - whether fixing our cars, renovating our house, or building our garden. We both love food and are always trying out new recipes at home.

Finally we just love Charleston! There's so much to do in our city. Amazing parks, great food, and multiple beaches. We love taking advantage of everything our city has to offer.

We can't wait to introduce our little one to all the things we love to do, and find new passions alongside our adopted child when they begin to explore their own interests.

Meet Kyle

Kyle is the Vice President of Engineering for Noovo camper vans. He loves that he gets to put his talents for engineering towards creating tools for adventure and outdoor recreation. He spends as much time tinkering at home as he does at work. Kyle likes using his 3D printer and a garage full of tools to fix things or build prototypes for his many projects and start-ups. He's also on the board of the local nonprofit Makerspace, a place for members to work on DIY projects together

Kyle loves putting his creative mind to use in the kitchen and can often be found experimenting with sourdough. He is a very patient baker! He is also very adept at languages and loves studying a new language in his free time. Kyle is fluent in German, and also loves to keep up with French, Chinese, and Japanese.

Meet Jessica

Jessica is a Museum Curator for the National Park Service. She manages museum collections for all the parks in South Carolina, including Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie. She loves that she gets to combine her love of the outdoors and public lands with her career passion of taking care of historical objects. Jessica also has a certification as a Wildland Firefighter and will occasionally help with wildfires or controlled burns in the area. Jessica's career has taken Kyle and Jessica across the country, from Yosemite in California to Lake Mead in Las Vegas. She took her current job in South Carolina to get her and Kyle back to their family on the East Coast, where they intend to stay and are excited to plant roots and raise a family.

Jessica loves spending time identifying all the plants and birds in the area. She enjoys caring for plants, whether it's the garden or the many houseplants she keeps around the home. Jessica is also a part of the local roller derby team, the Lowcountry Highrollers. She loves staying active through skating and being part of a community of strong, competitive women.
