Anne, a 6th generation Californian was raised on a small ranch in the high mountains of Northern California. Growing up, she was happiest roaming the ranch atop her horse Captain, riding her snowboard high up in the backcountry, or by her mom’s side in the magic light hour working in the garden.

Brent was born and raised in South Carolina. He grew up exploring and hunting hardwood thickets in the upstate and his frequent expeditions to the lowcountry fostered a lifelong love for the aquatic ecosystems of the intracoastal waterway and lowcountry marsh mud.

Brent and Anne met each other in 2005 in a far away land, New Zealand. While adventuring together during a semester abroad, they vowed to “keep the dream alive” and spent evenings around camp fires dreaming of building a life together close to nature and full of adventure.

In 2008 Brent and Anne welcomed their twin boys, Wyatt and Finn.  Parenthood was a pivotal adventure that led them back to Callahan, CA to raise their boys in a rural landscape.  Wyatt and Finn have taken to the wild streams and mountain valleys hunting, fishing, and exploring until dark.
