Southern California in August 2008. Before the move,
Rich was working at an advertising agency while Paige
was doing event planning. While at McCombs, Rich is
planning on developing his marketing skills and general
business knowledge while getting out on the golf course
whenever possible. Paige has decided to switch careers
and is also in school working towards her esthetician
