A-C

Casey Ging

After high school graduation I went to college at the Univ. of Oklahoma were I studied Theatre Arts. I then moved back to LA for a while until I realized how much I loved the theatre and to really pursue that I needed to live in NYC. So I moved to New York City and I started and ran a non profit theatre company for 5 years. It was an amazing and fulfilling experience and I will always love NYC but I needed to be back in the California sunshine! So I moved back here to Santa Monica and have been living here with my boyfriend Leo and our two kitty cats! I am still living the glamorous life of a struggling actress!! I have a passion and I will continue to pursue it as long as I am still having fun!!! Pushing towards 30 does put things in perspective and I am starting to get the "settling down" and "baby" itch! So we'll see what life has in store!!! Can't wait to see all your faces at the reunion! Updates to come!

Jamie Bockius (Cooper)

During my sophomore year at Vanderbilt, I met my husband, Chad, and after graduation I moved to Austin, Texas for his job. We got married in Jan of 2002. Since then, I have been in the mortgage business, however, I am currently taking a break to stay at home with our daughter, Brooklyn, who will turn 1 in March. We have fallen in love with Austin, and plan to be here for as long as possible, but enjoy getting back to the desert to visit family and friends whenever we can!

I graduated from Sonoma State with a Sociology degree. I started dating Danny Franco (Class of '97 from La Quinta - Booo Blackhawks) two years ago and we just moved in together in San Diego. I will be starting a new job in March at the San Diego Coastkeeper, a non-profit environmental organization that promotes clean water and a healthy ecosystem. I am really excited to read updates and see everyone at the reunion!

In 2000 I met Brian Martin while I was a Junior at BYU. He was up in Utah for a long weekend snowboarding with some friends, and it was a long distance relationship from then on. We were married later that year and he moved to Utah so I could finish my senior year and graduate in Elementary Education. We moved to AZ in 2001 (where he was from) and have since added three kids to our family. Tanner is almost 6, Kamryn is 4, and Payton is 2. Number 4 is a Boy and should come sometime in June. He is a custom home builder, and owns a framing company also. We are surrounded by family here and love it!

I live with my husband, 15 month old daughter, and St. Bernard in the Bay Area. After finishing my undergrad at USC, I went back to USC and received my Masters in International Education. I taught in Los Angeles for 4 years and then moved up to the Bay Area for my husband’s job 3 years ago. I have been working for a student travel organization for the last 2 ½ years in sales. We travel back to the desert every chance we get so my daughter can see her grandparents!!!

Terra Koehler (Cole)

After life at PDHS, I studied marketing at the University of Arizona. The summer before my senior year I met Ben, my husband, in Europe on the Semester at Sea program. After graduation, I moved to Denver, Colorado and worked in advertising. Ben and I were married in 2002 and moved to Santa Monica where we had a blast as newlyweds and somehow I managed to receive a visual design degree at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising. We now have a wonderful home in San Diego and an even more wonderful daughter, Reese, who is 10 months old and is a joy to be a mom to. I currently am the Marketing Director for a company I part own called Optimal Nutrition, Inc., an organic meal delivery service (http://www.optimalnutritioninc.com/). Can't wait for the reunion!
