CURRENT MISSION

To return the hospitality we received in New Zealand

ABOUT ME

We met at Earlham College, a small Quaker university in the U.S. We traveled in New Zealand from August 2006 until May 2007. We lived in Chicago, IL.
Now we have a daughter and a dog and we live in Washington, DC.

PHILOSOPHY

Matt's personal philosophy is, "what fun is it being cool if you can't wear a sombrero?"

Music, Movies, and Books

Our favorite movie to watch together is Love Actually. Aside from that, there are too many to possibly list or rank.

We both love Harry Potter. Carrie loves field biologist memiors and other interesting nonfiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We helped turn our entire university library (300,000 volumes) upside down overnight as a prank. You should ask us about it.
