Grace and I met through mutual friends in February of 2020 while juniors in high school. We hung out throughout the spring and summer of 2020 in a group with friends where we played games, hung out at the lake, and went hiking. In the fall and early winter of 2020, we became closer by fishing the Brule together, going ice skating, and going to a light show near Enger Tower before inevitably beginning to date on December 20th of 2020. After three loving years which included becoming closer with each other's families, traveling together, fishing together, and moving in together, I proposed on December 19th of 2023 at the same light show from just before we began dating.

One of our favorite things to do together is play board games and card games. Along with games, we love to travel together. We have traveled to Michigan, Illinois, Tennessee, California, Iowa, Kentucky, Nevada, and Morocco together. We plan on making many more traveling memories together in the future.

Currently, we are living together in a house near the University of Minnesota Duluth. This is where we plan to live while we finish our undergraduate/graduate degrees. We plan on residing near Duluth, Minnesota after graduation and into the future.
