Brittany & Scott

I'd say the most defining characteristics of Brittany is her incredibly soft and passionate heart, both for people and nature. You’d be hard pressed to find someone more excited to do a trip to the Hogle Zoo or Loveland Aquarium; and I’ll be she’s the only person you’ll ever meet who spontaneously creates powerpoints on the ivory trade or endangered big cats to present to her friends and family. And her love of all things in nature definitely infuses our home too, most obviously through 24 -and counting- potted plants (they all have names, Aza is her current favorite). She is one who cares deeply about people who are disadvantaged in the world and social issues are always on her mind. If a sad looking old man walks by in the store, you know she's going to have a genuine emotional response.



Being married to this beautiful girl makes life such a joy—she embraces the moment and makes life fun with silly dances and remarkably witty jokes. Brittany is the type of person who constantly thinks outward, she’s a self declared “extroverted introvert”. She’s the kind of introvert who goes outside of her comfort zone to go out and try to be the friendly and warm person people need to feel welcome and loved. She loves hosting themed parties (such as a murder mystery dinner or a punk rock guitar hero night). She makes the decorations and absolutely insists that everyone dress up, like it or not ;)



More than anything, I admire her relentless persistence of her best self. Whether that’s spiritually, intellectually, physically, or in her mental health, she is always pursuing growth. She will never settle for anything less than becoming an excellent person.



As a mother, Brittany is nothing short of phenomenal. I am blown away by what a killer job she does at being an all star mom. I’ve run into few people who dedicate the kind of time and effort she does into being a top notch parent. As a stay-at-home mom, Brittany is 100% present with Oli and Simon. She studied early childhood and elementary education and thoroughly applies what she learned about the impact of deliberate and peaceful parenting. Brittany strives to ensure that our children’s world is designed to facilitate not only a happy childhood, but one that fosters the healthy development of their mind and self-confidence.



Brittany enjoys wood crafts, Zumba, and writing poetry. Every morning she drinks cranberry juice straight from the jug. She hates wearing jeans and would pick wearing overalls over pretty much anything. She is consistently terrible at Bingo, which her extended family does at every party, poor girl. She loved being a student and is constantly seeking out more learning. She is endlessly fascinated with other cultures and is always eager to hear about another person’s lived experience. Oh, and she's gorgeous, so lucky me =)



And I haven’t even started on her preschool! Britt’s passion for early childhood has lead her to read every book and listen to every podcast she can find on the Montessori way of teaching children. She was finally able to start her preschool in 2021 and the place is a child’s dream come true. Our kids are so lucky to have such an amazing environment in which to learn and play.



Our family is so lucky to have Brittany, I love being married to this girl!
