A strange coincidence about us is that on June 15, 2017 both of our first marriages ended and we each began the process of healing and starting over. We met on April 8, 2018 at Coffee Culture in Erie, PA. Chandler has 3 boys from his first marriage and Anna has 1 daughter from her first marriage. Liam was 8, Oliver was 4, Isabelle was 3 and Alex was 2 when we met. The kids are now 13, 9, 8 and 7.
We moved into our house in Conneaut Lake together in December of 2019 just in time for the holidays and the Covid-19 lockdown. Blending our families while working from home, homeschooling and not being able to leave the house we now shared was a unique situation, but it definitely made us closer! In the past 5 years we have enjoyed parenting our children together and seeing them further develop into the amazing young people they are today.
In the spring of 2020 Anna joined Chandler as a Realtor and we formed a real estate team - working together to meet the needs of our community. We're very fortunate to be able to have a wonderful working relationship in addition to our personal relationship (we still like coming home to each other at the end of the day)!
We were married in an intimate ceremony on December 31, 2022 at our church in Harmonsburg, PA. The children enjoyed helping to plan the ceremony and dinner (their favorite part was cake tasting).
