Tiffany Vise was born on February 2, 1986, in Denver, CO, and began skating at the age of four. She enjoys roller blading and would like to be a physical therapist. She attends Gorman Middle School, and is on their cross country team. Vise formerly skated pairs with Ryan Bradley, and also skates singles, having placed as high as 6th as a Novice at the 2000 National Championships. Vise's younger sister, Brittany, is the 2002 Novice National pairs bronze medalist with her partner, Nicholas Kole. Vise skates for the Broadmoor SC.

Laureano "Larry" Ibarra was born on April 22, 1983, in Miami, FL. He began skating for fun in a tiny rink in Venezuela, and formerly competed as a singles skater. He skates for the Colorado SC. He hopes to go to college to study architecture. His favorite pairs element is the one-handed lasso lift. Although Vise & Ibarra spun and jumped in opposite directions, Ibarra said that their coach made sure that their programs were choreographed to compliment their “mirror skating.”

The duo trained at the Broadmoor Skating Club in Colorado Springs, CO, under their coach and choreographer, Dililah Sappenfield. They dissolved their on-ice partnership after the 2003 U.S. Championships, where they finished 11th in Senior Pairs.
