We met in college attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the Spring of 2014 when Claire invited Erik to be her partner in their Chemistry Lab. In 2015, we started our journey of becoming life partners. In the 9 years since we first started dating, we've traveled together to 15 countries, supported each other through 3 college degrees and 6 pilot checkrides, moved out of a combined 15 apartments, and recently bought our home in Chicago.
