How We Met
We met as undergraduates at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama, and got married on the evening of Christian’s graduation. We lived in St. Andrews, Scotland, for three years while Christian completed a PhD in history.
We Love Mandeville!
Rebecca grew up in New Orleans, and five years ago, we settled in Mandeville. We’re completely in love with the rich history, warm community, and peaceful lifestyle of the Northshore.
We Write Books
For 20 years, we’ve been authors, and for the last decade, we’ve written books for large nonprofits who needed their stories told. A couple recent favorites are Miracle Wheels and Imprisoned with ISIS.
Favorite Eats
We have old favorites—like Rips on the Lake and Trey Yuen, where we celebrated special occasions with Rebecca’s grandparents—along with newer go-to's, like Parish Tacos and Sake Garden.
A Perfect Day …
… would be waking up early and playing some Bach (Christian), heading to Franco’s for racquetball and the elliptical, and then exploring Fontainebleau before joining family for “Throwback Thursday” at the Beau Chêne clubhouse.
