Luke is continuing his schooling here in Dallas and Mattie is a Senior at OU. Tim and Giovanna have a cat and a Maltipoo dog as well as two granddogs. When Gio lets Tim out of the house, he is also an avid golfer. Both Gio and Tim love discovering new restaurants and exploring the many cultural events Dallas and the metroplex has to offer.
