Andrew & Erica

About 8 years ago, my husband and I met through our burning desire for adventure. We both left the mundane lifestyle, in search for experience and the "spark of life". Our paths crossed on a little farm outside Grants Pass, Oregon and we have been inseparable from that point on.
Our inexplicable talent for mixing work and travel have led us all through the western states gaining valuable knowledge in farming, ordinarily including the care for animals, such as, horses, goats, guinea hens, pigs, chickens, dogs, and cats. We switched gears for a year and installed smart home security systems in peoples homes all over Southern California and Northern Nevada before being called back to Oregon. Upon settling in a small town in Southern Oregon with the ambition to reach greater heights, we fortuitously been blessed with the opportunity to work in a field that not only satisfies our love for travel, but has evolved into a career: Wildland firefighting. We have been working in this industry together since 2022.
We are thankful for the community we have built, the experiences we have had, and the doors that have opened for us in this beautiful town. With this new chapter of forward movement, we have been hit with the compelling need to travel and experience new places again.
Furthermore, we love animals and most of the time they love us back if we try hard enough. My gorgeous, most intelligent better half, Erica Brianne, hails from a little town out of the central valley in California that goes by the name Tulare. Tulare, if youre not familiar is a farm town and part of the bread basket of our country.
I grew up with grandparents that had a meek little 5 acre farm in Happy Valley, Oregon. The memories are so beautiful and we look forward to the re-creation of them. Just imagine being 5 years old on a warm summer day and having a swing set just outside of your grandparents back door in the middle of a lush garden that is covered by a pergola that is over grown by grapes.. So over grown, in fact, that whilst on a forward swing, you could just reach out and pick a vine of fresh, delicious, juicy grapes...
