Twilight Teez, LLC is a small start-up company located in Sierra Vista, Arizona in the United States. The founders are Brian and Sharon Schade (aka Mr. and Mrs. Schadeboy on SchadeBLOG). Brian and Sharon started the company in January of 2007 with inspiration from one of their favorite authors, Stephenie Meyer. Our customers are very much aware of her very good books, Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse, dealing with a somewhat fantastical relationship between a human girl and a vampire. The story of Twilight Teez is just about as fantastical, although mired very much within this world.

Sharon had become aware of the Twilight series of books through her sister, who gave her the first book as a gift. Sharon was not immune to the allure of the books, and soon found herself enraptured with the lives of Edward, Bella, Jacob, and the Cullen family. Through various communications channels, Sharon found out that Stephenie had at one time offered t-shirts for sale, but was unable to meet the demands that the sale of these items placed on her as well as continue with her writing and all that comes with being a successful author. Sharon eventually got around to asking Stephenie if it would be alright to take up where she (Stephenie) left off. And thus, Twilight Teez was born.

For the first year and a half in business, Twilight Teez was run as a home-based business from the domocile of Brian and Sharon. In June of 2008, Twilight Teez moved into their first commercial building located at 6687 E HWY 90 in Sierra Vista, AZ. The increased space allowed the company to expand their product offerings and increase their productivity, not to mention get their home back.

Brian was born in 1968 in a small town in Arizona called Safford. After a brief stint as a Safford resident, he moved with his family to Sierra Vista where he grew up. In 1982 he moved with his mother and two sisters to the slightly larger community of Tucson, Arizona (City Motto: We will kill you with our traffic management if it is the last thing we do). He graduated from Cholla High School in 1987. Brian wandered around various college campuses for a few years, trying to figure out what he really wanted to do with his life. He eventually settled on Cochise College, a small community college back in his home town. He graduated in December 1993 with an Associate of Applied Science in Computer Information Systems. He moved back to Tucson where he started a career in Information Technology, met and married Sharon, and started a family. He also received his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Information Systems and his Master of Science degree in Computer Information Systems. In 2000, he moved his family back home to Sierra Vista for what he hopes will be the last time. Brian has been working as an IT professional for nearly 15 years. He has worked in several different industries during this time frame, including education, manufacturing, architecture and engineering, and medical imaging. He currently works for a major Department of Defense contractor during the day and as a part-time instructor at Cochise College during some evenings. But It has always been one of his dreams to open his own business. So now he is the Chief Information Officer and Webmaster for Twilight Teez, LLC. His primary duties involve all of the technical aspects of running the web site, including maintaining the software, web hosting contracts, domain registrations, e-mail, and configuration of the site. He is also the graphic designer for the company, creating all of the graphics that can be seen on the site. Twilight Teez takes up most of his spare time, but eventually, some day, he would like to follow in Stephenie Meyer\'s footsteps and become an author.

Sharon was born in Westminster, California, in 1975 - just in the nick of time to be able to see all six Star Wars movies in the theater. Her family has lived in many places throughout her life, and after many moves, she wound up in the Phoenix metropolitan area in Arizona. She graduated from Westwood High School in 1993 and was accepted to the University of Arizona immediately afterward. She moved to Tucson to attend college for a short time before meeting her future husband, Brian. Education became an important goal in Sharon\'s life, but she took a less traditional approach to her self-improvement goals. Sharon found a thriving interest in homeopathic and natural healing and immersed herself in anything that would help her pursue her goals of a more natural approach to health. Content with the thought that nature has provided everything that we need to stay healthy and strong, Sharon learned about various home remedies for everything from treating the common cold to Hypnobirthing. Sharon has home birthed all but her first child, preferring the calming ambiance of her own home to the rather sterile environments of a hospital. As with Brian, it has always been a dream for Sharon to be able to sustain her household through her own business. She is now the CEO for Twilight Teez, and acts as the company\'s administrative director and customer service liaison. She is also responsible for inventory control and order fulfillment.

Brian and Sharon reside in Sierra Vista, AZ with their five children, two dogs, a cat, and periodically a random reptile or two.

Located 70 miles southeast of Tucson, this thriving community of nearly 43,000 is the regional center of southeastern Arizona and the home of historic Fort Huachuca. Surrounded by the breathtaking natural beauty of majestic mountain ranges and the San Pedro River, Sierra Vista boasts a temperate year-round climate, abundant sunshine, and clean, fresh air (source: City of Sierra Vista).

The City of Sierra Vista is the youngest of the major communities of Cochise County, but its history is rooted in the early settlement of Arizona by its connection with Fort Huachuca. Sierra Vista has grown from a satellite community dependent on the fort to one which has a vigorous life of its own. Constantly expanding modern shopping and recreational opportunities attract birders and nature lovers from all over the county (source: Discover Arizona).

Several mountain ranges surround the City of Sierra Vista. The city\'s name, which means Mountain View in Spanish, describes its location perfectly. At an elevation of 4,623 feet, the city boasts a view of the Mule, Dragoon, Whetstone and Huachuca Mountains. As the population nears 43,000, Sierra Vista is one of the fastest growing communities in Arizona and is the business and cultural center of Cochise County. The city annexed Fort Huachuca into its boundaries in 1971. The two communities hold a strong working relationship and share many facilities and joint activities (source: Wikipedia).
