Who Is Michele Tafoya's Husband, Mark Vandersall?

According to The Sun, Tafoya and her husband, Mark Vandersall, have a lot in common when it comes to sports. Vandersall is a major sports fan, having been a 1989 all football conference player for Robbinsdale High School in his hometown in Minnesota. He went on to become an All-American pitcher for his college, the University of Minnesota.

While Vandersall is big on sports, he chose a more quiet life with a career as a private wealth advisor for Ameriprise Financial Services (via The Focus).

The couple tied the knot in 2000 and had trouble building a family. According to an interview Tafoya did with Edina Magazine, the couple turned to adoption when she suffered several miscarriages. When adopting their daughter Olivia, Tafoya recalled, "Meeting her was a powerful moment," adding, "She was sleeping, looked up and smiled at us. She hasn't stopped smiling since." Olivia was adopted in Columbia. The couple also shares a son, Tyler, who was born in 2005.
