Austin and Stephanie first met in 2013 during their freshman year at UC Riverside while studying mechanical engineering. Outside of school, they bonded over their shared love of music, especially reggae bands like Rebelution, and going to festivals and concerts together. Those early years were filled with road trips, music festivals, and making memories that would become the foundation of their relationship.

Sophomore year of college, they began officially dating on April 27, 2014. Austin and Stephanie both graduated from UC Riverside: Austin in 2017 and Stephanie in 2016. After graduating, they spent some time living in Northern California before eventually making their way back to Southern California. Along the way, they adopted their Australian Shepherd, Ollie, who quickly became a very energetic and much-loved member of the family.

Surrounded by close friends on a trip to Greece, Austin proposed to Stephanie in Santorini on May 27, 2023.

In 2024, they bought their first home together in Corona, CA. They welcomed their daughter, Olivia Rhodie, into the world in January 2025, and becoming parents has been their greatest adventure yet. From engineering study partners to building a home and a family together, their journey has been full of growth, laughter, and support through every stage of life. They’re excited to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people they love.
