About Me

Matt and Lindsay Alexander
Matt and I are in our late 20's/ Early 30's and live in Minnesota. Matt has worked in the Glass Industry for the past 8 years and Lindsay has been an Interior Designer for 6 years. For the last year and a half we have been out of our "professions" and working to find a new way to live that has meaning and purpose for us.
