I met Hannah in Birmingham in the fall of 2020. After graduating from UCLA the summer prior, I joined a program called Venture for America which brought me from California to Alabama to work for a early-stage startup, Landing. I started in August and soon after Hannah joined.

Hannah and I quickly began spending time together; first in groups, but then one-on-one. Under the guise of 'working late', we'd stay at the office for hours sharing stories, cracking jokes, and learning more about one another over pizza and spreadsheets.

By February 2022, Hannah and I's relationship had grown from a casual work friendship into a human resources nightmare (ie dating). We made our relationship official by submitting a "Consensual Relationship Agreement" to our HR team ... *spicy*... and have been together ever since.

From international trips to weekends on the couch with our puppy (Bru), Hannah and I have begun creating memories, deepening our relationship, and building our life together. I could not be more excited to be marrying my best friend next March.
