Ryan Goldring is a student at Pacific Union College (PUC) in Angwin, California where he is working toward his Bachelor of Business Administration. His family recently relocated from California to Charlotte, North Carolina where Ryan now spends his summers. He says two things are most notable about his move to the South : southern hospitality and humidity. A born traveler, Ryan has an appreciation for diverse backgrounds, cultures, and languages which is part of the appeal of accounting. He sees accounting as the language of business and feels it is an important springboard to succeeding in business. He has previously worked in finance offices at PUC and in classrooms in Micronesia.

Dawn Marshall is a Napa native.  She briefly left the Napa Valley for a sojourn to Miami, Florida but returned to Napa to begin her professional career. Her first job was in a florist, before moving to high-end hospitality, then winery accounting and for the past 17 years she has been serving in a number of different roles in city government, culminating in the role of Human Resources and Administrative Manager. She is a two time recipient of “Award of Financial Reporting” by the Government Finance Officers Association. When she’s not helping “humans with resources”, she is likely to be gardening, quilting, or arranging items in her home to be more aesthetically pleasing. Dawn is the mother of 3 children – 2 sons and a daughter who all seem to have inherited some of her creative abilities. As a young woman, Dawn went off to purchase her first automobile, a Renault, at a local Napa automobile dealer. While she was unsuccessful in securing her dream automobile, she ultimately walked away with a first date with her now husband of 29 years.
