Jodi McIntosh & Brian Hiebert
Jodi McIntosh and Brian Hiebert spent nine years traveling a path that ultimately led them to making Cincinnati their home together.
Jodi grew up in small town Wyoming, and attended the University of Wyoming where she graduated with a degree in Economics and International Business. She took a job with Andersen Consulting in Denver after having dreamed her whole life of living in the Mile High City. Her consulting job, however, had her traveling nationwide and often she would go weeks without being "home." Her eventual path to Cincinnati started in Dayton where a co-worker from Cincinnati introduced their project team to the Queen City (they had quickly expended social outlets in Dayton). She was already considering a move out east to Chicago, NYC, DC or Atlanta, when in came Cincinnati with all its charm and an interesting mix of big city life and small town flair. She moved to Cincinnati in March 2000 and found it very easy to not just meet acquaintances but rather true friends, get involved in the community and make Opening Day an 11-year tradition! In June 2002, she took a job with Fifth Third Bank where she is a National Corporate Treasury Management sales officer.
Brian Hiebert was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, where at a young age he discovered a passion and talent for beach volleyball - yes, it is quite popular because there are beautiful beaches coast to coast and the season is May - September) Brian played collegiate indoor volleyball, when he eventually became a Canadian national team athlete and began his professional beach volleyball career, thus moving his life to Toronto, Ontario in September 2000. Brian traveled the world competing in beach volleyball for the next several years. A heart condition cut short his career, but where one door closes, another opens. While Brian was completing his degree at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition, he met Jodi while visiting friends in Cincinnati. It only took nine years after leaving their western roots to find each other "out east" but in 2009, Brian made the move to Cincinnati as well, married Jodi and started his nutritional consulting business called
Be Healthy Nutrition.
