Steven and Parker met in January of 2018 when they were staffed on a consulting engagement together in Waukegan, IL. Parker was a seasoned consultant who knew the ropes, while Steve was lost and clueless in his first job that didn't involve Uncle Sam. Parker helped Steve get his feet under him as the two trudged through a freezing winter on a less-than-enjoyable project. They say misery loves company, and this company proved to be the start of something special. The tables turned that Spring when Parker expressed her interest in attending business school. Steve, having just (barely) graduated, leapt at the opportunity to help her out - and spend more quality time together - ultimately convincing Parker to apply to Wharton. She hit the ground running in Philadelphia, and the two of them thrived during a fun, though unpredictable and Covid-filled, b-school experience. Steve and Parker played hockey together, led and joined ski trips, traveled to Wharton classmates' homes, and took advantage of every opportunity they had to get to visit each other's friends and family. Right before graduation, Parker decided to take a leap of faith and take a critical role at NeuroFlow, a high-growth behavioral health tech company in Philadelphia. Setting aside their plans to move to Denver for a few years, Parker and Steve bought a home in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philly in late July. Just a week later on August 1st, during a Reynolds family weekend at Mooselookmeguntic Lake in Oquossoc, Maine, Steve made the best decision of his life and asked Parker to be his bride on the beach where Parker spent most of her childhood summers. With Parker's extended family in town, and Steve's parents hiding out as a surprise, the house was full for the first of many toasts celebrating the happy couple.
