ABOUT US

Michelle and I met in September 2005 on MySpace. At the time she was living in Manila, Philippines where she was born and raised and I was living in Gloucester County, NJ where I was born and lived my whole life. Our friendship blossomed into romance and in April 2006 I traveled to Manila to meet her in person. It was my first trip to a country requiring me to have a passport (back then you didn't need one to visit Canada) and my first time ever on an airplane. We were married on November 30, 2006 in Woodbury, NJ. In January 2007 we moved to Honolulu, HI. where we lived until February 2015. In February 2015 we moved to Central Florida and currently maintain a home in both Central Florida and Manila Philippines.

We love to travel and eat together. In addition to the Philippines and Hawaii we have also visited Thailand and New Orleans on our eating trips. We hope to visit a list of places on our food trips including Vietnam, Japan, and South Korea.

We love animals. Currently we have two cats and two dogs we rescued in Manila named Keanu, Wiggles, Desmond, and Oreo. Additionally we had a dog named Tsunami who has been with us since we lived in Hawaii and has traveled with us to Central Florida and Manila. Unfortunately Nami passed away in February 2023 at the age of 17.

In September 2019 we welcomed Pualani Georgina Martine Gaw Morris (aka Bibi Shark) to our family. She was born at Chinese General Hospital in Manila. She made her first trip to Central Florida in February 2020 and has since visited family and friends in Texas and Hawaii too.
