We met at work — Vince was on nights, Ali was on days. Our paths crossed during rushed handoffs and sleepy hallway smiles, and though we both felt a spark, we left it alone. Nine months passed before we finally spent time together outside the hospital. And that’s when everything changed.

Ali won Vince’s heart with a slow-cooked pot roast he still claims is the best thing he’s ever tasted. Vince won Ali’s heart with his endless laughs and the most genuine soul she’d ever met. From there, it was late-night dinners, weekend hikes, and spontaneous getaways — cooking together, exploring Denver, and wandering through National Parks, one road trip at a time.

lifeOFFshift is where we share the life we’re building — filled with food, adventure, curiosity, and love. We’re based in Denver, and we love highlighting our favorite local spots just as much as discovering new ones on the road. He’s the grounded mountain man. She’s the whimsical, dorky one. Together, we’re creating a life we love — one off-shift moment at a time.
