Javi would tell you that our journey started at Portillo's, where the girl with a "big truck" who always ordered a beef and cheddar croissant every Saturday. However, the true beginning of our story unfolded in the Spring of 2018 during our time in high school automotive class. Anna and Javi's mutual love for working on cars ignited a spark between them. Throughout high school, they were involved in various car-related activities together.

Following high school, Anna and Javi pursued their passion for automotive technology by enrolling in a program at Waubonsee Community College. Their educational journey continued at Southern Illinois University, where they both pursued their shared interest in cars. United by their love for all things automotive, Anna and Javi's intertwined paths have led them to where they stand today, reflecting on how the world of cars not only brought them together but also paved the way for their enduring connection.
