Vanessa Pogreba Vanessa was born in, of all places, Minot, North Dakota. Her parents moved a lot and lived in Western Virginia during her middle and high school years. She swore that one day the Shenandoah Valley would be her permanent home. She met Christian while she was in college and they married upon her graduation from North Dakota State College of Science as a Registered Dental Hygienist. They immediately left the iceberg of North Dakota and settled in Colorado. After 3 years Vanessa began really missing Virginia. They purchased their home in Augusta County in 1999. Shortly after the move they gave birth to a son and adopted another son, and found out she was pregnant again. So in 1 short year they established a family of 3 young boys. The youngest son was added in 2006 to round out the number to 4 very active little men. Vanessa stayed at home to raise the boys. When Christian started his education to open his own hearing practice Vanessa initially had to work more outside of the home. Now she is again able to stay home and raise their four boys. She works closely with Hearing Healthcare of Virginia behind the scenes. She does all accounting, advertising, human resources, and anything else that needs to be tackled, even painting and digging fence posts. So rarely is Vanessa in the office but she is available for whatever the need may be.
