Descrição

Hello! We’re Janine and Mark, living just outside Washington, DC.

Janine is deeply motivated by helping others and thrives on connecting people within her network—a friend once described her as a "collector of good people." Known as the planner and organizer among friends, Janine has dedicated over a decade to The Nature Conservancy and other conservation organizations, following her passion for protecting the planet. Outside of work, she is an avid portrait photographer and a devoted “serial foster,” often welcoming cats, dogs, and litters of kittens into our home. She also volunteers with the American Red Cross, supporting causes close to her heart.

Mark, a car and motorcycle enthusiast, loves both driving and repairing them; he's rebuilt engines and is currently helping a friend restore a classic Studebaker Avanti. He dreams of having a three-car garage to restore his own vehicles someday. A DIY home repair expert, Mark has fixed nearly everything in their home, from air conditioners to roof leaks. In his career, he’s spent over a decade with the American Institute of Architects in marketing, and at home, he’s also our resident chef, known for creating amazing meals from even the sparsest pantry.

Now, with our children grown, we’re embracing this next chapter beyond office life, ready to explore new passions and adventures together.
