More About Us!
We both majored in bioengineering at Clemson University and spent the last 6+ years working in the life science industry (Pharmaceutical Manufacturing for Steven and Medical Device R&D for Olivia) in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. We love the outdoors; particularly hiking, camping, and being on the water. We love to explore new places, try new foods and learn about other cultures. Get us out in nature and we’re happy campers!
Fun Facts About Us:
- Steven grew up in Pittsburgh, PA & Olivia in Ridgefield, CT
- We met while in college at Clemson University. Go Tigers! / C-L-E-M in cadence count!
- We both studied abroad in Singapore for a summer, working for the Sports Research Lab at Nanyang Technological University
- We got married in June 2023 in Olivia’s parent’s backyard
- So far, we’ve explored 25 states together and 9 National Parks, with plans to visit them all in the future
- We both grew up with card playing families. Nothing is better to us than a night playing cards or board games.
- We’re sports fans and both root for the Clemson Tigers and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Baseball is a house divided though with the Yankees vs Pirates.
- Olivia used to hate seafood before Steven converted her by cooking her salmon
- Steven was the captain and coach of his College water polo team
- We joined in the pickleball craze and even went so far as to compete in a tournament finishing 3rd of 4 teams (laughing emoji). We also stay active by rock climbing and lifting, and have recently gotten into running as part of our travels abroad – completing our first half marathon this spring.
