It all started when...
We first met on July 1, 2015 at Carrabba’s in Tempe for our first date and dated for about two and a half years before getting engaged. We moved-in together in June 2017 and then got engaged March 18, 2018 which gave us about a year to prepare when we got married on April 6, 2019. We definitely learned a lot more about each other while living together and also during the engagement so we were very ready to begin our lives together and take on all the different adventures. Even though we dated for 3 and a half years, we are still a newlywed couple with much to learn but firmly believe we have a solid foundation, the right tools and support system as well as plenty of love, to have a fun and rewarding life.
Things we like to do…
We used to be a couple of simple pleasures and creatures of habit but then with the addition of our sweet daughter, our free time has diminished. On an average week, we used to spend our time binge watching a Netflix/Hulu tv show series and occasionally mixing in a redbox movie. Can’t forget the nightly dog playtime and weekly walks around the block and also taking Otter to the dog park. We like to cook at home during the week and go out to dinner on weekends and try to do a date night at least once a month. There is usually a night out with friends or family a couple times a month since everyone dear to us lives either down the street or only a short drive away. We love staying busy with friends by going out to breweries or having game nights at friends houses. While it is cooler in the valley, we’ll try to get outside as much as possible which means even more dog walks, or hiking around Superstition Mountain but in the summer months, then we escape the heat by taking weekend trips to Flagstaff with our dogs. Now we are busy with our two daughters, who can be high energy or wild, playing outside in our backyard, or with the tons of toys. We like getting out around town like going to splash pads, or trampoline parks but life looks a lot differently than before they came along. There’s more to us than just this but it summarizes us pretty well…follow our instagram account for seeing more of what we’re up to.
What we do for work…
Scott is an Associate Financial Advisor with Valley Consulting Group, part of Thrivent. He got into the financial industry in March 2023 beginning at Merrill where he got fully licensed with the SIE, Series 7 and Series 66, but working in the Chandler call center was not a good fit for him. He switched over to the RIA world where he joined the team at Valley Consulting Group, under a lead wealth advisor doing a combination of service and sales and has loved every day of it since starting in October 2024. He recently earned his first designation in July 2026, the BFA, to be a Behavioral Financial Advisor. This career will open lots of doors and is looking forward to seeing where it takes him.
