Our story started back in our sophomore year of high school. Thanks to some persistent friends (and constantly bumping into each other between classes), we didn’t stay strangers for long.

We spent those years making memories with friends, dancing at every school event, and taking summer trips that we’ll never forget. When high school ended, life took us in different directions for a bit as we began our college journeys.

After finishing college and starting our careers, our paths crossed once more. It felt effortless, like no time had passed, and we knew we’d found our way back to where we were meant to be.

Along the way, we added a couple of furry family members and created our first home together — a place filled with love (and plenty of pet hair).

A beautiful proposal (that Hailey definitely saw coming) marked the start of our next chapter and our excitement for the life we’re building together.
