Deborah and John both chose Manchester College in Indiana to pursue their bachelor’s degrees in Elementary Education/Physical Education and Health & Physical Education/Spanish, respectively.  They were married in January 1975.

After beginning their Indiana teaching careers, Deborah completed her Elementary Education Masters degree at Indiana University, while John earned his Masters in Secondary School Administration at Purdue University.  When they moved to Arizona in 1988, they each pursued School Counselor Endorsements and shifted their public school endeavors from the classroom to Elementary and High School Counselor capacities.

Deborah and John retired after 25 years of public education careers and are now pursuing other ventures.  Deborah launched her essential oils business Living Well Now and John moved his Lahman Financial Services business from part-time to full-time.  As this book is released, their daughter Angela and son Aaron are primary partners with Deborah in Living Well Now while their son Andy is partnered with John in Lahman Financial Services.
