WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?!
Steve – Writes commercials, plays drums and tennis (often with vintage rackets), and digs MCM style.
Haley – Is an amazing graphic designer and lady-boss, is developing an obsession with travel, puts up with noisy band practices, and also digs MCM style.
Steve was born in SoCal, raised in NorCal and has lived in the Great Pacific Northwest for many many years. Haley was born and raised nearby in NE Portland.

Life is kooky, but always a fun adventure!
