David and Neil are a loving, fun and creative couple who love the arts. So much so, that David proposed to Neil at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We’ve been together for 15 years and have been married for nine. We own a cozy home in Jersey City, NJ (minutes from NYC) where we live with our two loving cats Lindo and Pumpkin.
We enjoy going to the movies, attending art shows, seeing Broadway performances, ordering takeout and watching Netflix, or visiting anyone of our five God Children. We love to travel and have been to Puerto Rico, Canada, Spain, Hawaii and Amsterdam.
Between Neil’s history teaching dance and working with families at the Jersey City Housing Authority and David working at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, we have always found ourselves caring for and supporting children. For years we’ve had dreams of having our own and are excited to begin this journey today.

Our Lives
Neil and David’s life are a mix of calm and adventure. We see family at least once of month if not more, with visits to Neil’s parents’ in Jersey City and visits to David’s parents, sisters and their kids in New York. Most of the time we like spending a nice calm evening with our cats, Lindo and Pumpkin, who never deny our many hugs and kisses.
Adventure often arises through David’s work as an artist, completing exhibitions and Neil’s work as a board member of a ballet company—helping them in their latest production. All the spaces we work in are child and family friendly and we look forward to raising our child with an appreciation of learning and loving through the arts.
Our Family
David is the youngest of five siblings, three girls and two boys. His three sisters have eight sons between them and David grew up very close to them as they were only years apart. Neil’s extended family of close friends and god children add to his immediate family of his parents and brother. We have eight god children between us.
Between David’s siblings and Neil’s extended family we are often together for major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, as well as birthdays and anniversaries.
