How We Met:

We met in a Civil Engineering graduate class at Iowa State University Spring Semester of 2023! We separately decided we wanted to ask the other to be group partners for the semester project (Sadie ended up asking Michael before he had the chance to ask her). After going on an accidental date in February 2023, we officially began dating in April 2023!

How We Ended Up In Graduate School Together:

Sadie completed her bachelor's degree in Construction Engineering in Spring 2022 and was convinced by one of her professors to attend graduate school. She pursued her master's degree in Civil Engineering, focusing in GeoConstruction Engineering from Fall 2022 - Summer 2023.

Michael completed his bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering in Spring 2020 and his master's degree in Civil Engineering, focusing in Construction Engineering Summer 2020. After serving on active duty in the Marine Corps for 2 years, Michael returned to Iowa to start his career in Traffic Engineering. He began pursuing his PhD in Civil Engineering, focusing in Transportation Engineering Spring of 2023.

What We Enjoy Together:

We enjoy going for walks/hikes, discussing the books that we're reading, watching movies & TV shows, traveling, nerding out about engineering things, and spending time with our families!
