Jason was born in Ventura, CA north of
Los Angeles. He was raised there and went to high school there. With
his teaching degree, he got his first teaching position in North
Sacramento.
Jonna was born in
North Bend, Oregon, next to Coos Bay. She went to Oregon State. In the
process of getting her teacher’s certification, she went to Ellensburg,
Tacoma, and Seattle, WA, then to N. Sacramento for the first year of
teaching.
And this is where
Jason and Jonna met.
Jonna teaches
kindergarten in North Plains and Jason teaches sixth grade at Jackson
school in Hillsboro. Jason and Jonna have taught school eight years.
This is their first in Oregon. They consider teaching as a wonderful
opportunity for young people raising a family because of the summer and
holiday vacations, and the hours that coincide with their children’s
hours.
Their son Cody, is
four years old, born December 21, 2000. The new brother will be born
June 28, 2005. Cody loves his nursery school at the “Kids of the
Kingdom” school associated with the Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran
Church in Beaverton.
Jonna’s hobbies are
cooking and reading and she is an ardent “Beavers” fan.
Jason has coached in
the past, and he loves all sports and played football in college. Both
he and Jonna love fishing, clamming, and crabbing. They love to travel
and have done a lot in the past.
Jason was raised a Lutheran, Jonna a
Presbyterian
They visited several churches in the
area and chose Mt. Olive. We are so happy they did.
