The Bride... I was born and raised here in Madison. I was homeschooled, and grew up in a busy house of six kids. We did many road trips growing up, and even now they are one of my favorite things. I love spending time with my friends and family, especially going to see movies together. I've always enjoyed doing art and playing the piano, and now I have the pleasure of teaching both! I enjoy helping my students learn about the things I love, and I learn new things while teaching them. I am always pushing myself to do bigger, harder things, especially with piano and art. I'm looking forward to see what else I can accomplish. The Groom... I grew up in Northern Arkansas with my parents and sister. I have a large extend family and grew up playing with my many cousins. I competed in robotics competitions throughout high school which led me to get a degree in engineering. I came to Madison to work at Epic after graduating from the University of Arkansas. Since coming to Madison, I have left working in the software industry and am now pursuing a Ph.D. in computer science. Upon completing my degree, I am planning to begin working as a professor at a university.

We are excited to start our lives together! After our honeymoon cruise, we will be living in Verona near our home church. Maddie will continue teaching piano and art, and Alex will be working on his Ph.D. in computer science. We will keep attending our home church where we have been blessed by many friends. We enjoy playing on the worship team at church, as music is a big part of our lives. We plan on visiting more state parks and hiking on the ice age trail. We are looking forward to watching late night movies, playing games, and just spending time together. We can't wait for this next chapter in our lives and are excited to see what God has in store for us!
