I Want to Save Your Life

Diana and Juan Castrillon


Juan is a financial advisor who works from home and takes care of his two sons. His main objective in life is to fit in a size 34 pair of jeans and enter and complete a triathlon. To get a feel for his interests, Juan wanted to share that his favorite reality show is "Hell's Kitchen" and he enjoys gardening, tennis and swimming. Diana is a personal injury attorney who has made partner at her firm; quite a feat for such a young woman. Despite the formal nature of her career, Diana prides herself on her ability to quote "Sixteen Candles."
