David. Married to Marianne on February 10, 1996. Currently serves as Vice-President of the Cassell Gymnastics Parent's Club as well as Head Coach and GM of the Shoreline Soccer U10 House Team and a Sailor Soccer Club U10 Rec Team. In his spare time, he works at Calvary Church as the Pastor of Spiritual Formation. He loves to preach and teach, and sometimes wonders if he should devote more time to writing. When weather permits, he enjoys chasing the small white ball into the hole.
Marianne. Was kind enough to marry David on above date. She is an amazing artist in many forms (charcoal, paint, dance, choreography, etc.), and is Emma's and Liam's #1 cheerleader in all their pursuits. She is the intelligence behind the Rudd house, and on occasion she donates her many talents to Mercy-General Hospital's surgical care department (they in turn offer her a small stipend for her efforts). She is the primary care-taker for the family beagle.
Emma. Born in Clare, Michigan in 1997. Like her mother, she is a very talented artist. She particularly excels in music (violin, flute, and piano), although her drawing potential is yet to be developed. As a level 6 competitive gymnast, she demonstrates great discipline to maintain her ALL-A grades while spending many hours in the gym and at competitions. Recently, she has discovered basketball. Like her father, she would like to write books someday.
Liam. Born in Muskegon, Michigan in 1999. Like his father, he loves sports. He currently plays soccer, baseball, and basketball. He roots for the Pistons, Tigers, Red Wings, Spartans, and unfortunately the Lions. He is beginning to demonstrate some musical skill on the cello, but seems to be quite the technological guru. He has clearly inherited his mother's people skills as he is well-liked by all and can make friends with a tree. He plans to be an animal scientist when he grows up.
