Justin Silva moved to this beautiful little island with his loving wife Renée nearly 6 years ago. Prior to finding their forever home, Justin lived all over the west coast, ranging from Tahoe to Hawaii. He hails from the bike capital of the world: Davis, CA. Sadly, not Amsterdam. Justin is most well known on the island for his work with South Whidbey School District and the South Whidbey Schools Foundation. He is in his 11th year of teaching and his 13th in education. Prior to going into education, he worked in construction management, helping to design and build large scale construction projects, ranging from prisons to schools.
Justin graduated from Southern Oregon University, with a degree in Political Science, and a Master’s in Education from UC Santa Cruz.
When he's not teaching, Justin can be found hiking, gardening, fishing, crabbing, reading and playing music.
Steve moved to glorious Whidbey Island May 1, 2023 and has been “livin’ the dream” ever since. He is “dee-lighted” to support Friends of Friends by being part of the 2026 Mr. S Whidbey lineup, since he is grateful to live here and is a big believer in the three Cs: Community, Caring, and Creativity. When asked if he had a happy childhood, Steve replies “so far, so good.” Steve lives by “If you want a guarantee, buy a toaster” (from Proverbs, he thinks).
People know me by my stage name Andrey Psyche.
I started my life pursuing science and medicine, but after finishing UW, I had a change of heart and relentrlessly followed my calling toward all things creative.
I've published numerous books and songs in the themes of LOVE! I believe love is the antidote. Love is the engine. Love is the not-so secret ingredient.
Because without love, we would live a bland and sickly existence going nowhere.
I stand for love.
Emanuel isn’t much for comedy or small talk. He’s all about the bigger picture, he’s P.I.C Amelia is always reminding him “go big or go home “ .
Community means everything to him and helping someone in need is like melted butter on toast, just right. So Dig deep and give what you can when you can and lead with love. P.L.U.R
