In 1983, they moved to Wisconsin, where Bob became a brand and marketing manager for Milwaukee Ad agencies and a Fortune 500 company.

"Who the hell are you?"
"Who the hell are you?" were the first words Marcia said to Bob in 1982. Their chemistry has been cooking ever since. Marcia was a newspaper reporter in Iowa and Michigan before starting her own freelance marketing communications business in Milwaukee. When Bob left his wingtips behind, he helped her re-brand it Creative Spark Inc. In 2016, Marcia happily retired but still advises Bob on a very regular basis.
