We both grew up on the East Coast and slowly made our way west across the country -- from New Jersey and Pennsylvania to Ohio, New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado for college and graduate school. We now live in the heart of wine country and call Northern California home.

We married in a small, hilltop ceremony in Boulder, Colorado, surrounded by our immediate family and close family-friends in 2005.

Our daughter, "Miss Leyba," joined the Spritzer Leyba famliy in January of 2008. We adore being parents and are having the time of our lives.
