Cécile met Max while doing homework in the library at Cal Poly, SLO where they both studied Biomedical Engineering. Both continue to work in the medical field. Cécile is an industry leader in cardiovascular catheter design; Max designs sound processors for cochlear implants (a device which restores hearing to the deaf.)

Cécile and Max love adventure travel, and can be found either rock climbing, skiing, or surfing nearly every weekend. They also teach SCUBA diving (the normal use of this website) and enjoy sailing on their small boat the Séa Seal.

Cécile and Max currently live in Venice, California.
