Read Our Story →How We Got Here
Julia first met Jake in May 2025 when she decided to expand her cleaning business. At the time, Jake owned a recruiting company and helped hire several team members. As their professional relationship grew, Jake naturally became involved in many areas of the business, and together they launched SD Sparkle in August 2025. His business insight and leadership helped accelerate the company's growth. By January 2026, it had become clear that their relationship was much more than a successful business partnership—they had become best friends. Before long, they were inseparable, working side by side to build a company devoted to serving both clients and employees with excellence while honoring the Lord in everything they do.
Today, they share a vision that extends far beyond business. Their greatest dream is to continue creating opportunities to love, serve, and impact others more deeply through their company, their home, and the life they are building together.
Jake did! He shared his love for Julia's heart 4½ months before she could admit the same.
Jake.
Jake's dad, Darren. Do you think it was a set up? ;)
Travelling!
It's a SURPRISE! Jake is going to whisk Julia away to a surprise destination.
