J.P. was born and raised in Richmond, VA, while Aimee was born in Tulsa, OK and raised in Richmond. Aimee is a registered dietician having earned her master's degree from James Madison University.
After marriage, J.P. and Aimee moved to St. Louis so that J.P. could study at Concordia Seminary. Celeste was added to the family on March 8, 2007, ushering J.P. and Aimee into the turbulent waters of parenthood. She has changed everything, and has been a joy since the day she was born.

The waters became even more turbulent and joyous on August 26, 2009, when Isabella Grace Cima was born. Bella changed everything again, and continues to teach us daily that God’s grace is indeed beautiful.
