They met in the summer of 1983 at the Timbers Apartments where they both lived. They have been married for 34 years and recently retired to San Marcos after living in Central Texas and across the country. Their two sons both attended Texas State, although one son moved over to Texas Tech. Brad loves Texas State Athletics and was on the board for nine years. They have season football tickets, go to baseball and softball games and right now are generally enjoying living a nicely paced life in San Marcos.
