Portrait

We travel frequently to the Netherlands to see family in the Hague and friends throughout the country. Our other favorite destinations include New York City, Boston and Washington, D.C., where one or both of us have lived over the years; Vancouver, where we are eager to return for a longer trip; and Denver, our most frequent weekend getaway spot. Jason directs a statewide conservation nonprofit organization in Casper, which requires a great deal of in-state business travel. Guy is a city councilman and full-time student with a graphic design business.
