Matt and Michele Hofherr met in L.A. in 1990; he was pursuing acting, and she was an agent. They married two years later, and within a few years, Matt had pivoted into advertising, while Michele had taken up photography. Their only daughter, Sam, came along in 1998; she's now 17. The family lives in the Bay Area, where Matt is a cofounder at creative agency MUH-TAY-ZIK | HOF-FER, while Michele has cofounded the digital consignment shop PreviouslyOwnedByAGayMan.com.
