Ellen and Nick met in the spring of 2015 through a mutual connection. Nick was just beginning a new EMT experience in the Flint, MI area, while Ellen was completing her first long term subbing job after graduating. In fall of 2016, they moved into their first apartment in Grand Blanc, both had started their first big kid jobs, and added a fur baby (Oliver) to the mix. In 2017, Nick and Ellen bought their first home together in Burton, MI. The two were engaged in May of 2018, along the edge of the Niagara Falls. After taking some time for personal growth, Nick and Ellen reconnected, and begun their plans towards starting a family, welcoming Nora Rose into the family in December of 2020. The family of three finally settled in Fenton, MI in the summer of 2021.
