We have lived on the Hannahville Indian Reservation in Michigan's Upper Peninsula for over 25 years. All of our children and grandchildren are enrolled members of the Hannahville tribe, while Jennifer is a member of the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa (LTBB). Our blended family includes seven children and eleven grandchildren. Lexie sits on the Tribal Council and works at the 3 Fires Sober Living as a Recovery Couch.   For more than seven years, we have been providing these educational curricula, making us the only Indigenous married couple engaged in this work. We look forward to partnering with you and your community.

Our Mission is to bring families together, fostering stronger bonds within the family unit as well as the broader community.  We aim to empower parents by highlighting their potential, their roles, and the sacred nature of their responsibilities.  Our goal is to help families heal, unite, and thrive.  We believe that PIE can be a valuable tool towards that end
