| Soon after, we got married and began a family while Nick furthered his law career as a public defender in Colorado, defending those unable to afford an attorney. We always knew we would come back to Phoenix and plant our roots, just like his grandfather did in 1942. That time came when Nick stepped up to take over as the third generation to run his family’s 76-year old small business. Not only is Nick an exceptional leader and businessman, he’s a wonderful father and I’m truly blessed to have him as my partner, cheerleader, and support as we venture through parenthood together. Three of our four children, Ruth, Joel and Ava, attend school in Phoenix Elementary District 1 and have enjoyed having their father attend field trips and volunteering in and out of the classroom. The entire family was also excited to celebrate the birth of Zane, our fourth child, on June 8th. | |
