Mark Vandersall is a Finance graduate from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities in 1995. Sadly, Vandersall’s father, Bruce E. Vandersall, passed away on October 6, 2016, after a stroke and a brief battle with cancer.
The Vandersall family is still connected to the Gophers athletic program. Moreover, his Twitter feed is filled with events with his children and wife. Michele and Vandersall’s relationship has a pretty interesting back story. Let’s discuss how they met from here on.
Met In 1993 When Tafoya Worked At Radio Station
The sideline reporter, Michele Tafoya, a California native, met her husband, Mark, in 1993 while working as a reporter/host at the radio station KFAN-AM. Vandersall’s wife was the Minnesota Vikings sideline reporter for the radio station and covered the University of Minnesota women’s basketball games.
She fell in love with the states, the games, and her husband in Minnesota. Hence, she remained constant as her preferences changed along with her life changes.
Married With Two Kids
As Tafoya and Vandersall fell in love after meeting in Minnesota, they soon got married in 2000. In an interview, Michele revealed that she got married in the mid-30s. Although the love birds’ love is profound, they had a fair share of difficulties, including bearing children.
The Vandersall couple is proud parents to two kids, son Tyler Vandersall and daughter Olivia Vandersall. Michele and Mark adopted their daughter, Olivia, from Colombia in 2009 as a newborn. Although they are happy and a complete family, life didn’t always spring for the couple. They had to face stormy days as well, especially in terms of Michele Tafoya’s motherhood.
Michele suffered two painful miscarriages in a year and became pregnant with twins via in- vitro fertilization. Unfortunately, attempts were all a failure. While talking to Modern Mom, she spoke of her age, miscarriages, and balancing a working mom’s career. Amidst all the attempts, the failure demotivated the couple until she birthed their first child, Tyler, at 40.
Shortly after welcoming their first kid, the Vandersall couple adopted Olivia from Colombia, and Mrs. Vandersall doesn’t want to miss a moment with her family. As Michele and Mark became parents, they were all about nourishing them and changed their priorities considerably.
Both Michele and her husband Mark bonded with their kids exceptionally and wouldn’t trade a day for anything else. Let’s hope the couple keeps on loving one another while raising amazing kids.
