Ben

Ben was born and raised in the great northwest. He grew up in Seattle, where he had a very fun and eventful childhood. It was then that he fell in love with the northwest environment. Skiing and backpacking with his dad, exploring the San Juan islands with his mom, camping with his dad and mom, and of course, surrounding himself with the majestic beauty of nature in the park near his house playing his Gameboy™. He was always into math and computers, but surprisingly still managed to have a social life. He attended Reed College, although nothing happened to him there that is relevant to this bio. Then he moved back to Seattle, found a job building cell phones, asked a pretty girl to marry him and has lived happily ever since. The End. Oh, and in case you were wondering, the pretty girl said yes.

Amanda

Amanda was born in Helsinki, Finland. She moved to the United States when she was two, just after finalizing plans for her eventual wedding. She lived in southern California for a number of years before moving up to Portland, where she spent most of her formative years. She had a wonderful experience in Oregon's stellar public high school system, before she was forced to leave and, reluctantly, attend Reed College. While she was there, she met somebody incredible and amazing, who swept her off her feet. Then she broke up with him and started dating Ben. After graduating from Reed, she took a brief tour of Our Great Homeland, and returned to Seattle. She is currently  employed by a green building certification program as the world's hardest working tree-hugger. The End.
