In his limited free time, Levi enjoys following college basketball and football, exploring our country's fine cities, and spending time with his brilliant and beautiful wife. He also enjoys plenty of embarrassing television shows, playing video games, and is a huge music fan (check out the shows I've been to!). Finally, despite not having kids, he is slowly turning into a suburban dad by caring entirely too much about his lawn, grilling, and rocking white New Balances.

When she’s not focusing on teaching and research, Michelle continues her slow progression toward becoming one of the Golden Girls by attempting to revive the underappreciated art of cross-stitching, making up ridiculous songs with her husband to sing to their cat, and perfecting her cooking skills (although she’s still working on her cheesecake recipe).
