Jami and her husband Eric live in Firestone, CO with their two boys, Liam and Nathan. Their oldest, Liam, is full of energy and always eager to learn about the world. Nathan, his little brother, is the happiest little boy that can always bring a smile to our faces. He is profoundly deaf in both ears due to cCMV, (congenital cytomegalovirus) and has bilateral cochlear implants. The family is also learning sign language. 

A favorite quote: “If you are not willing to risk the usual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.” – Jim Rohn
