Michael grew up in West Seattle near Alki Beach. He is in the semiconductor industry and is the Regional Manager for Data I/O Corporation base out of Redmond, WA. Amanda grew up in Mt. Vernon and she is currently a Home Maker. We were married on March 06 and have a 15 month old girl name Kiana. She was born on November 13th, 2006 at 6:41 pm. Kiana is an amazing girl and we’re so lucky to have her in our lives. We both love children and it is a dream come true for us to be parents. We love to travel, especially to tropical islands like the Hawaii Islands. We have also travel to Vegas, Disneyland, Toronto (Niagra Falls), Manhattan, Boston, Puerta Vallarta, and many other places. We are both very active and enjoy being out doors, going for walks, and want to live a healthy lifestyle. We also like to dine out and try different foods, go to movies, going out and being with our friends. We don’t watch a lot of TV but there are a few shows we like such as Grey’s Anatomy, House, American Idol, All CSI's, The Bachelor, etc. We love spending time together and with our families. We are very fortunate to have some wonderful friends in our lives as well so thank you for the great friendship through the years.
