Jana is a native Oklahoma
girl, but she always asks to not hold this against her. Jana was born to
Mickey and Sharron Shelton. She grew up in Altus,
OK with her two siblings, Liane and Tracy.
After graduation from High School and Western Oklahoma State College,
Jana moved to Wiesbaden, Germany for a 2 year stint with the FAA.
Following Germany, Jana went straight to Southern California, and has
become a real California girl. She now lives in Colorado Springs with Marc.
She enjoys going to the
beach, the movies, and tries to go SCUBA diving as often as possible
with Marc.
Jana completed her Bachelors in Information Technology from
the University of Phoenix.

Marc was born in Stuttgart,
Germany
to Frank and Sylvia Hoffmann. The first 11 years of his life, Marc spent
his time in Kindergarten, at his grandmas' houses and in trees in the city
of Gerlingen.
Then the family moved to Meckenheim,
near the former capital of Bonn.
After 3 years there, the family moved again - this time to Brussels,
where Marc completed his high school at the European
School.
After Brussels, Marc returned to Stuttgart to complete his Masters in
Computer Engineering from the Berufsakademie.
After his studies, Marc worked for the IBM
Development Laboratory in Germany, which launched his transfer into
the United States in 1992. Through his various responsibilities in
providing technical and marketing support, Marc was able to live in
several cities in the United States, including Boulder, Colorado, Dallas,
Texas, Raleigh, North Carolina and San Jose, California. Through his prior
employer,
Marc moved to Irvine, California.
In 2003, Marc and his two friends and partners Eric
and Rick
founded a new company:
EmeriCon, LLC. Equipped with the experience of providing IT consulting
for large clients, the three of them created a new business that has
already enjoyed tremendous success and employs several consultants.
Marc enjoys SCUBA diving, many outdoor activities, such as biking,
rollerblading, and good movies, good food and great wines. But most of
all, Marc enjoys spending time with the love of his life, Jana. |
Since you are reading this information on our website, you are very familiar
with the medium through which we met - the Internet.
After his move the Southern California, Marc joined an Internet dating
service, called  .
Marc had tried this before in San Jose, and met some very nice people this way.
So, he gave this service another shot and put up his profile
for all the lovely ladies to see.
About 3 weeks after Marc had signed on to matchmaker.com,
a lovely lady named Jana (on a tip from one of the pilots that she worked with)
decided to give this thing a try as well. So, Jana put up her profile
on the site. Within minutes Marc had noticed it and he and Jana were starting to
trade e-mails. After a few e-mails and phone calls, Jana and Marc decided to
meet at Bistro 201
in Newport Beach. The evening spend fabulous and the rest is history, as this
website and our wedding can
tell you.
