Mark enjoys an early cup of coffee, which is just code for being out on the course beating Todd in a round of golf. (However, the man can also drink an exceptional amount of coffee.)

Evan grew up in the small town of Davisburg in the Detroit area and eventually traveled to Chicago where he received a BA in Biblical Studies from Moody Bible Institute in 2018.

Next time you see her, ask her about her “cantankerous” dog. (It’s okay, we have no idea what that means either.)
