Our Story
It all started in 2003, when two teenagers met at Young Life youth group and began a friendship that would quietly shape the course of their lives.
A decade later, in 2013, that friendship grew into something deeper, and the adventures truly began. From hiking trails and family vacations to camp weekends and youth football, we've shared life side by side, hand in hand. We’ve cooked countless meals together, tackled large home projects, raised three amazing kids, Isaac, Maggie, and Sargent, and built a life full of joy, grit, and laughter. Our faith in Jesus Christ has been the cornerstone of our journey, guiding us through every season with grace, hope, and purpose.
On February 16, 2025, we got engaged, and we can’t wait to say "I do" on August 15, 2026, surrounded by the family and friends who have been with every step of the way.
