Emma is a Colorado native with deep roots in the Denver area. She and her husband, John, grew up in the same suburban community, where their families were closely connected—John’s mother was a teacher at their elementary school, and their older sisters were in the same class and played sports together. Although they attended elementary, middle, and high school together, Emma and John reconnected in 2019 and have been inseparable ever since. They have been happily married for several years and are excited to start a family in the near future.

At home, Emma and John share their lives with two beloved dogs—Chester, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and Cale, an English Cream Golden Retriever. Their weekends are often spent surrounded by family, strengthening the close-knit bonds that have always been central to their lives.
