Welcome to the Shomer family site.

Brad collects hobbies the way most people collect streaming subscriptions. When he's not untangling email campaigns, he's untangling fly-fishing line, stitching leather into something useful, or convincing grapes to become respectable wine.

He firmly believes every problem has a solution-usually discovered three hours, twelve browser tabs, and one unnecessary tool purchase later.

Brad enjoys good wine, bad puns, and the quiet confidence that comes from fixing something with your own hands... even if you had to watch three TikTok videos first.

If you need advice on email marketing, leatherwork, fly fishing, or homemade wine, he's your guy. If you need help choosing between them, don't ask — he'll probably start a new hobby instead.

Professional problem solver. Amateur vintner. Recovering pastry chef. Degree collector. Avid traveler (on and off the beaten path). Hoarder of random facts that may or may not be useful someday. Loyal servant to a very opinionated dog.

Melissa's hobbies have a habit of becoming graduate-level coursework. She has a well-documented inability to be casually interested in anything. She's made her peace with it.

She's equally at home in a Michelin-starred restaurant and a dive bar, at a Ghost concert and a Beethoven symphony. Mel's first job was playing Zeke, the Cosmic Alien—a six-foot-tall blue alien with yellow feathers and tennis shoes who taught astronomy to young kids. Honestly, that explains more about her than it probably should.

Eclectic by nature. Adventurous by choice. Classic — with a twist.

Self-taught mechanic at heart, rambling automotive historian in spirit, a wannabe Michelle Mutton behind the wheel no matter the figures. CVT or geared, he will find the fun, practicality, and speed in everything that moves. Blending his passions of mechanics and cars, he chooses a degree in mechanical engineering, with a dream of not just manufacturing cars, but coarse-correcting the current auto industry not for himself but for the people who know little to nothing about cars.

Currently going to NAU for a mechanical engineering degree with hopes of transferring to ASU for an automotive engineering program, he still finds time to slow down and live life outside of the confines of an automobile. Treating himself and his loved ones to a good movie and/or sharing his number one love language—food. He loves and finds art in anything he sees, from the culture and stylings of lowriders, to the complex and oblong stylings of a Tim Burton Film.

Theatre kid at heart and a rubber duck enthusiast, Josh is almost always trying to learn something new. And it probably includes going on a deep-dive into a topic that has no actual relevance in his life whatsoever. (This week's was modern constellations!)

J is also an avid lover of dogs. Aggie figured this out quickly and has used it to her advantage many times. It's ok. J knows he’s the weakest link and is completely fine with that.

Professional napper and squirrel enthusiast. Aggie is a five-year-old Staffordshire Terrier with a heart of gold, the appetite of a linebacker, and absolutely no respect for unattended brisket or donuts.

She considers kitchen counters a suggestion, beds a shared resource (mostly hers), and believes blankets are best enjoyed when wrapped entirely around one dog. Historians still debate her role in the infamous Shoe-mageddon, but the evidence — and the shredded Paul Green boots — is compelling.

Aggie is an expert in tail wags, neighborhood security, and convincing strangers she's never been fed. She has perfected the look that says, "I know I shouldn't have done it... but I'd do it again."

If you visit, keep your shoes by the door at your own risk, your snacks well above nose level, and be prepared to surrender your spot on the couch. She already called dibs.
