TEAM SPIEZIA
We love film and family, tech and travel. We like our plates full, will sleep when we’re dead, and would spend our last $5 on the best meal in town. He’s the ‘why & the what’ and I’m the ‘how & the when.’
We’re a perfect team and a party of three, doing big things and trying not to sweat the small stuff.
