Mark & Shiloh Hand have been married for 20 years. They purchased some land & built a house in Nezperce in 2009 and finally moved to the area after Mark retired from the Marine Corps in 2016. They enjoy great relationships with their parents & families, have been blessed with 4 wonderful children (Eden, Sierra, Ezekiel & Kaya), and cherish the friendships they've developed while traveling from place to place as an Active Duty Marine Corps family. Shiloh is a rock-star home maker and spends most of her time home-schooling the kids and shuttling them around to activities & appointments; Mark recently earned an LMSW and now works as a Behavioral Health Consultant. They both love America's favorite pastime & sport, would rather be on a sandy beach somewhere in the tropics, and enjoy ethnic foods & the arts. They met at a Ag Dept tail-gate party at a Fresno State football game and discovered they each have a deep rooted faith in God and place all of their hope & trust in Christ alone.
