Rebecca got a degree in Elementary Education & Human Development from Connecticut College. Unsure what to do after graduation and uninspired by teaching in traditional classrooms, she moved to Denver, CO where she worked at a store full of games, costumes, and incidentally, yo-yos.

Rebecca & John moved to Boston in 2001, and Rebecca was easily incorporated into John's show. In 2004, they got married amidst performances in 5 different countries & their appearance on Letterman. While not performing, Rebecca's either building websites or painting: she and John started the small company Car Art Magnets, handpainted magnetic art for cars.
