Despite growing up mere miles from each other, we met at the high school graduation party of a mutual friend of ours. Adam’s intentionally worn GVSU tshirt prompted the conversation in which we discovered we’d both be leaving for Grand Valley State University in the coming weeks. We spent the years of completing our undergraduate degrees escorting each other around campus, exploring the shoreline of Lake Michigan and working on writing and math assignments (take a guess who did whose homework). We have had the pleasure of getting to know each other over the past eight years and are so excited to step into this next journey together!
