Naomi and Max met climbing at Brooklyn Boulders in Somerville, MA in 2016. On their very first date, they started a tradition of congratulating each other’s successful climbs with jazz hands that lasts to this day. At the time, Naomi was completing her degree at Brandeis University in Waltham, and Max was a software engineer in Cambridge. Early trips to SPAC and Newry solidified their relationship quickly. After copious adventures, they moved to NYC in 2019 for Naomi to start her PhD in Biological Sciences at Columbia University. Now they're getting ready for the next adventure!
