In 1981 we began our first adventure together; marriage. It was the beginning of a family that produced 5 children and eventually 10 grandchildren. Our marriage has seen it all; good times and bad, wealth and poverty, triumph and tragedy. From working with teens in our first year of marriage to a wide variety of “pre-ministry” ministries, we have always made serving in the kingdom, simply “what we do.” Early in our marriage Wayne worked a full-time job in construction management. At the same time, he preached and taught Bible classes for our home congregation and others. Tami was a stay at home mom who was equally involved in her church family. She was a regular Bible class teacher, ladies day speaker and opened her home weekly to those in her church family. We served together for over 10 years with the Bear Valley congregation in Denver where we were instrumental in building a strong and active young families group of about 100 (in a congregation of about 350).

In 1996 we undertook another adventure; full-time ministry. Leaving his career in the construction industry, Wayne returned to school and shortly thereafter accepted the work as a minister of the Lord’s church in Parker, Colorado. Beginning with just a handful of members we watched as the congregation grew to about 140 hardworking Christians who were a shining example of a healthy church family. They would annually host a Vacation Bible School with almost 180 in attendance and an annual Ladies Day hosting almost 200. Additionally, we have served in many other ways beyond our local work; in ladies days, retreats, lectureships, training workshops and as adjunct teachers with the Bear Valley Bible Institute of Denver.

In June of 2013 a new adventure presented itself. We conducted the first His Shoes Her Shoes Marriage Seminar. In 2014 Wayne resigned his work with the Parker church and we began to conduct the seminars on a full- time basis. Since then the Lord has opened wide the door of opportunity to help strengthen marriages and families through these unique and exciting seminars. The response to these seminars has been so positive that we have dedicated our focus on developing additional resources and presenting this material in additional ways. Since 2014 we have added the “First Steps” parenting seminar, the "Head Over Heels" pre-marriage seminar and, most recently, the Grand Parenting seminars to help grandparents who are faced with having to raise their grandchildren.
