Throughout life we're all faced with challenges and choices - opportunities sometimes allow for us to sprout whereas challenges may require our steady approach.

​

As a couple with 2 young, incredible children; Jessica and Chris have considered it a blessing to have been able to face,  both, many times together. 

 

Being diagnosed as a Juvenile Diabetic at the age of 5, and in the 80's possessed it's own unique set of challenges for Jessica and her family. Access to basic information about Type - 1 diabetes at that time was limited and specialists were rare. 

 

Much of what they learned and the care they were ultimately able to navigate through; they had to do on their own and for their daughter. Together, Jessica and her family were able to navigate the challenges that Juvenile Diabetes presented them with and ultimately were able to allow Jessica a quality of life that mirrored that of her friends and peers, with a few obvious exceptions of course. 

​

Jessica met Chris at the University of Texas San Antonio, and they have been together ever since, for over 20 years.

​

They are passionate about sharing knowledge, providing resources, and helping the Type -1 & Juvenile Diabetic communities navigate this journey with all that they have learned. 

​

Their passion to connect with this community and a desire to combine their love of nature, sustainability and access to affordable and healthy food to all individuals concerned about their glucose has culminated in Sprout & Steady.
