Ashton and Connor met through the Navigators campus ministry at UW-Madison. As they enjoyed college life and mutual friends, their friendship grew from mutual love of Christ into the desire to run the race to Jesus together (Hebrews 12:1-2).

Connor graduated from UW-Madison in spring of 2023 with a degree in Statistics, and works at the State of Wisconsin Investment Board as a Data Analyst.

Ashton is currently finishing up her studies at UW-Madison with a degree in Early Childhood & Cross-Categorical K-12 Special Education and will hopefully be a teacher come fall.

FUN FACT! The same time that Ashton and Connor were becoming friends at college, their parents were becoming friends at church. God started uniting the families before dating was even a thought.

Both are overjoyed and excited to seek first the Kingdom (Matthew 6:33) alongside one another, and see the Lord's provision and promise unfold this side of heaven.
