The LIVING BETTER Story

In the Beginning

Born and raised in the heart of Silicon Valley, California, Stephen and Ellen's story kicked off in their early twenties with a chance encounter through mutual friends. Since tying the knot in 2004, they've been on a wild ride, raising five beautiful, charismatic kiddos who keep their lives endlessly entertaining.


The Seeds of LIVING BETTER

Little did the couple know that as they moved their growing family from the bustling California Bay Area to the serene El Dorado Hills near Sacramento in 2010, they were already planting the seeds for LIVING BETTER. The digital boom was well… booming, and Stephen and Ellen found themselves in an unexpected role—helping both sets of aging parents navigate new technology.  Wanting to stay connected despite the physical distance between them, minor tech annoyances quickly snowballed into a bigger problem.

Embracing the New Normal of Digital Life

The weekly calls for help with iPhones, computers, and other gadgets were just the tip of the iceberg. As the digital world grew more complex, more serious challenges arose for their parents, from identity theft to bank fraud and beyond. Stephen and Ellen watched helplessly as their beloved mentors struggled to keep up in a digital world that was moving faster than ever. This season became more than just a series of tasks for Stephen and Ellen—it was a journey of love, learning, and the harsh realization that the wisdom of older generations was being overshadowed by today’s tech-heavy society.


The Birth of a Mission

Sparked by the challenges their parents faced, Stephen and Ellen became fiercely determined to create a village of support and understanding for the aging-—a mission that would soon become the cornerstone of LIVING BETTER.
