My wife and I began dating during our sophomore year in February 2001. While we had crossed paths several times, including once in high school, we didn’t notice each other until we were re-introduced in Niejadlik Hall. Quickly we became very close and started dating.
Throughout our time at Eastern our love grew and shortly after graduation we became engaged. My proposal actually wasn’t very far from campus. Our wedding took place place on July 30, 2005, and 11 years later we are the proud parent of our 6-year-old daughter Brooklyn and our 2-year-old son Barrett. When we have toured campus as a family to show our children where their mom and dad met, the day is filled with wonderful memories and reflections of our time at Eastern.
Eastern provided us a world-class education but also an enduring love that has weathered the storms and sunny days of life. There is no one else that I could imagine walking this journey with!
