Our Family
Five people (and counting), one dog, a baby on the way, and a whole lot of love.

Ben is a husband, a dad, and someone who shows up. He manages hardware lifecycle programs at Apple by day and takes college classes at night — working toward his BA at ASU while raising a family. He's happiest when the people around him are doing well, the house projects are finished, and there's something good cooking. He's the kind of person who does things on purpose — and the kind of dad Levi can look up to.
Brittney is the kind of person who makes every space she walks into feel like home. She's Levi's mom, Ben's wife, and a woman who loves deeply and steadily — the kind of love that shows up in the small things. The way she advocates for people she cares about. The way she makes a house a home before the boxes are even unpacked. She lost Bentley this year and carried that grief with more grace than most people could. She's preparing to meet Baby McGee, and she is going to be extraordinary. In her own words from her wedding vows: "You have grown flowers in the darkest parts of me."
Levi is 7 years old, endlessly curious, and the kind of kid who lights up every room he walks into. He loves superheroes, making up songs, and asking questions nobody has answers to. This fall he starts 2nd grade. Soon he'll become a big brother — a role he was made for. Ask Levi what he wants to be when he grows up and he'll give you a different answer every time. We can't wait to find out which one he picks.
Ben and Brittney found out they were expecting in late December 2025 — a beautiful gift just after their wedding. The gender is a surprise, and we wouldn't have it any other way. We're soaking up every moment of the anticipation.
Phoenix is Ben's dog — a German Shorthair Pointer with boundless energy, sharp instincts, and a love for the outdoors that matches his owner's. Born November 28, 2021, he's a full member of the McGee crew.
Brittney's best friend and the goodest boy. Bentley passed peacefully on April 9, 2026 at 10.5 years old. He will be forever loved and never forgotten.

Brittney's golden retriever and service animal for 10½ years. He came long before the rest of us — and left paw prints on every heart he touched. Forever part of the McGee story.
Ben and Brittney were married on November 1, 2025 in the mountains of Greer, Arizona — surrounded by the people they love most. Their story started at the Buffalo Chip Saloon in Cave Creek in October 2022 — a serendipitous meeting after nearly a year of near-misses on Bumble. Ben proposed at Riverview Park at sunset on October 30, 2024, with Bentley jumping in the lake mid-proposal. After the wedding they spent two weeks exploring Thailand for their honeymoon.
We are Christians. We believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and that salvation comes through faith alone — not by works, but by grace. Our faith isn't just something we practice on Sundays. It's the foundation our family, our marriage, and our decisions are built on.
Our home church is Redemption Tempe — whose motto says it all: All of life is all for Jesus.
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." — Ephesians 2:8
