They initially met in 2015 during the week of the New York City Marathon. Joe had completed the race and was out donning his medal and celebrating with a friend. While out, they bumped into each other and Joe invited Jenn to a group run event in Harlem (they never spoke again after this chance meeting). Months later in February 2016, unbeknownst to the both of them, they would meet again at Momentum Education, a leadership development program designed to support personal and professional transformation. Though they were there for their separate journeys of self discovery, as the months passed, they grew fonder of one another and began to make the journey of transformation together. They discovered their passion for running and wellness and have been running the world together ever since!
After 5 years of dating, Joe proposed during his first trip to Rome, GA to meet Jenn's family. Dusk and nature are Jenn's favorite things, so Joe took Jenn to a lake and proposed just as the sky was turning shades of pink, purple, and passionfruit. Jenn's mom was present for the surprise proposal.
