We met online on Hinge. Joe was living in Hobe Sound, FL. where he had moved from Indiana to pursue his career as a Physician Assistant. Katie was living in Miami Springs while teaching in Hialeah. God's plan had us match on Hinge despite living more than 100 miles away from one another. After doing long distance for two years, Katie relocated to Jensen Beach to live in the townhome Joe and Katie bought and renovated together. On July 4, 2024, Joe proposed on the docks in front of his parent's home in Angola, Indiana surrounded by their families and friends.
