Matthew and Amanda Quadrini have carved out a beautiful existence in the picturesque community of North Ranch, with their 2 kids, French bulldog, and a baby girl on her way.

The couple, married for six years, together for 12 years, met in San Francisco through mutual friends at a brunch that would forever change their lives. Both newcomers to the city, they clicked instantly and never looked back, embarking on a journey that would soon include three little ones.

Matthew, a software sales professional with a knack for building relationships, hails from the East Coast. His journey took him from Susquehanna University to the sunny shores of San Diego, and finally to the bustling streets of San Francisco. His career has blossomed in the Fintech world for the past decade and has taken companies like Okta and Blend through major growth phases.

 Amanda, with roots in Newbury Park, is equally dynamic as a Division I cross-country runner, who pursued a career in sales and marketing after graduating from San Diego State University, with a major in Kinesiology. Her creative mind thrived in the affiliate marketing space, where she sought to discover trends and strategies that would captivate audiences. She has worked for both media companies and agencies, including mindbodygreen and currently PartnerCentric

Together, they make a dynamic team, balancing their professional lives with the joys and challenges of parenthood. Matt loves tennis and pickleball. Amanda loves hot yoga, and used to be an instructor in the pre kids’ era. Currently nothing beats a good catch-up with her girlfriends, walks, and spending time with family. Both loves being active and spending time outside with their kids.

 Their home echoes with the playful shouts of their children; Harper age 4, and Leo age 2. Both kids are into gymnastics, soccer, swimming, and music. Harper recently decided she is, in fact, a ballerina.

The family is never without their beloved French Bulldog, Bodhi, who had become a cherished member of their clan. Adopted just before the pandemic, he is a loyal companion, often seen strolling with the kids or lounging in the sun. Bodhi's playful antics brought a touch of humor to their daily routines.

Their move from New York City to North Ranch has been a homecoming for Amanda, who has cherished being close to family once more. They adore their community, particularly the festive spirit around the holidays, when Halloween becomes a magical spectacle and Christmas transforms the streets into a winter wonderland.

Daily walks to the park are a ritual, where they forge new  friendships with other families, sharing laughter and stories. The kids are in the same classes or activities as several of the neighbor kids, and for the couple, it is a joy seeing friendships form.

With three kids in five years, Matthew and Amanda had honed their negotiation skills, learning to embrace the chaos while keeping their priorities clear.

“Watching them grow, learn and watch their little personalities develop has been the greatest joys of our lives.” Declared Amanda.

Each year, they make new memories in Ojai as a family, adding to their all-time favorites  that included their  wedding at Hummingbird Nest Ranch, honeymoon to Bali, and of course, welcoming their two little ones into the world—soon to be three!

Their motto is “Don’t sweat the small stuff - and it’s all small stuff.”  They try to remember what is important and are so grateful for a healthy family. Their efforts to make sure the kids are surrounded by love and know they are amazing is apparent, though they claim it’s hard sometimes ,they try to just laugh through the chaos!

They firmly believe in the importance of love and gratitude, striving to instill those values in their children. As they navigated the ups and downs of parenting, they remind themselves that it was all about laughter, love, and the moments that truly matter.

Matthew and Amanda are not just building a home but weaving a tapestry of memories filled with love, laughter, and the beauty of family life.
