About Us

About Theresa

Theresa grew up in Illinois with her parents and four incredible siblings. She moved to Barcelona, Spain when she was 17 and had an adventurous year abroad before attending the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and graduating with a double major in Italian and Spanish. Theresa and Dustin spent the summer of 2006 exploring Italy, before Theresa's semester abroad at L'Universita' Cattolica in Milan where she studied Italian more in depth. When she returned from Milan, Dustin and Theresa moved to Austin, Texas where they presently live it up, Austin-style. Theresa is the Senior National Account Executive at Circa Texas, a destination management company on the East side of downtown Austin. She enjoys traveling, spending as much time with Dustin and Cuzco (their French Bulldog) as possible, exploring Austin and the nearby Hill Country and being with her awesome family and friends.

About Dustin

Dustin grew up in the Phoenix, Arizona with his wonderful parents and three great siblings. Having always been fascinated with art, Dustin attended a computer animation school in Vancouver, British Columbia which led him to the video game industry. He now produces the creation of video games at a local studio in Austin and most recently completed Ghostbusters and Cook or Be Cooked, A Food Network Game. Dustin loves to bike around Austin with Theresa and Cuzco in tow, explore restaurants across Austin (and the globe!), play games with his brother, Daniel, and spend time with Theresa and his family and friends.

How we met

Dustin and Theresa met at Bacaro, an Italian restaurant and wine bar in Champaign, Illinois. Dustin worked at Volition, a video game studio in downtown Champaign, and Theresa worked as a bartender at Bacaro while attending the University of Illinois. After several visits by Dustin, Theresa invited him to come to a party where they spent some time chatting and getting to know each other. From that point on they were inseparable, spending all of their time together, traveling as much as they could and just loving each other!
