Katy and I met in college at the University of Dayton in the spring of 2017. We started dating a month before I graduated in May, and we gave the whole long-distance thing a shot. After Katy graduated in December, she took a job in St. Louis while I was in Chicago. After about two years, Katy made the leap and moved with a friend in Chicago. In August 2022, Katy and I moved in together in the Lincoln Square neighborhood. In May 2023, we got engaged in Venice, Italy. Because we don't have enough going on, we decided to get a puppy, a Samoyed named Nori, shortly after. We are super excited to make it official in October 2024!
