Originally from the Midwest, Ashley joined the Navy in 2005 and "saw the world", sailing the Pacific in service to her country. After leaving the Navy, Ashley continued to serve by managing a Veteran’s Counseling Center in Everett, Washington. She was forced into medical retirement in 2013 & turned her energies to farming & artistic endeavors, particularly those involving in lapidary.
A native to the Pacific NW, Paul was born & raised in Vancouver, Washington. He is a former Army Ranger and combat veteran, having served in both Iraq & Afghanistan. Following his military service, Paul also spent time working with Veteran’s Affairs, followed by several years working for The Wounded Warrior Project, a non-profit, in both Seattle & Colorado Springs. He is currently studying toward a degree in Business Management at George Fox University and working on the farm. In his ‘spare’ time, he enjoys hiking the trails in Oregon & Washington.
With a shared military background & experience in caring for their fellow Veterans, the two met in 2010 & were married in 2013. Ashley introduced him to the world of rocks & a new shared passion was created. Their joint love of each other, travel and rock-hounding led them to their most recent Dominican Republic sojourn in search of lovely Larimar.
