Each month we’ll feature a St. John’s member so we can get to know each other better. 

Getting to know you: The Scott & Jenny Trick/Muller Family

JavaScript, Python … whichever programming language was popular at the time, the language of love won out when Scott and Jenny Trick met on Match.com. After hitting it off immediately, followed by several weeks of chatting, they met face to face, eventually fell in love, and decided to get married at St. John’s, where Jenny had been a member for more than a decade. The happy occasion was celebrated by their entire family and lots of friends.

Over the 11 years since, Jenny and Scott have volunteered together at St. John’s, handling some of the church’s technology needs: installing the PowerPoint capabilities for the services, launching and monitoring the church’s Facebook page, and working through the pandemic so St. John’s could virtually reach members through its Facebook Live services – all forms of outreach that are still going strong today!

Computer guru Scott works as a software developer for Michels Corp., so is more than qualified for his STJ’s tech contributions. Jenny works as an administrative assistant at The Aging and Disability Resource Center of Washington County. The couple’s blended family includes Jenny’s two children from her first marriage – Luke and Ashlyn Muller – their daughter together, Josie, and dog Stormy. The human kids were all baptized at St. John’s, and Luke and Ashlyn confirmed here, while Josie loves going to Sunday School. Luke just moved back home from Iowa and will return to Potawatomi, where he deals cards. Ashlyn is a hair stylist at Wildheart Salon in Mequon, and Josie is a busy second-grader active in basketball, dance, and gymnastics – as well as soccer like her older sibs were throughout their growing-up years. The family loves spending time together cheering on the kids’ activities, as well as all the Wisconsin sports teams. Outside the state, their favorite vacation spot is St. Pete’s Beach, Florida. Code: FAMILY FUN!

Fun Facts:

• Scott’s passion for sports extends to collecting baseball cards. Even better: the real deal in person. He went trick or treating at Robin Yount’s house, and “the Kid” himself opened the door!
• A couple of the more interesting places Jenny has traveled to are Japan, Germany, and Australia – but she has lived in Guam. Of them all, her greatest experience was scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef (Australia) – twice (it’s not named “Great” for nothing!).  
• Luke’s mad card shark skills were sparked by playing poker as a youngster.
• Ashlyn is a FAN-tastic sports FAN-atic and will watch with her mom and Scott, and attend sporting events.
• Squishmallows take the cake in Josie’s world. She has over 40 of them and even had a Christmas tree full of Squishmallow ornaments.
