Alex and Stephany live in Robbinsdale, Minnesota and love the unique small-town feel of the city bordering Minneapolis. They live with and adore their dogs, Miles and Max.
Alex enjoys reading, cooking, and making people laugh. He’s on a bowling league and during the warmer Minnesota months loves to bicycle throughout the Twin Cities. William’s diagnosis led to Alex getting a heart screening and finding that he too was born with a bicuspid aortic valve. William gave his dad the gift of knowledge, so he can be monitored as time goes on and receive medical intervention before anything life threatening surprises him.
Stephany has a passion for people and gets to exercise that passion standing behind the chair as a part-time hairstylist at Urban Eve Salon and Boutique. She enjoys writing, reading, baking, and crafting. Anything from knitting, to painting, to making jewelry brings her pure joy.
Stephany and Alex’s passions and hobbies, tailing their unending love for their first child, William, keep them creative, focused, and driven in their pursuit to serve the heart community on the board of William’s Wardrobe.
