It all started at SharkNinja when Erica was pulled in for a very last minute interview with a potential new hire. Following some friendly banter, Erica's recommendation to hire him was a no-brainer. Ryan joined the team soon after and they quickly became work besties that bonded over music festivals, local eateries, and working out. What started as a platonic "wing-man" style friendship became something, well, a little more, after a night out with friends in Providence. Ryan quickly stole Erica's heart by courting her with Quest bars, thoughtful Post-It notes, Apothic Inferno red wine, and supporting her through her ACL surgery. Erica's silliness, crazy passion for dogs and animals, and shared love of food + beverage quickly took Ryan's heart. 6 years later, they happily reside in Brookline, MA enjoying the city life with their large canine child, Edson. A typical week includes date night on Thursday, many a walks in the neighborhood with the boy, and cooking/dancing in the kitchen. We're so excited to welcome you all to our wedding in Vermont!
