Our Story
We met at a house warming party and immediately argued about politics and philosophy. At the end of the night, he knew she was it, and she thought he was not it. Fast forward 3 years, our paths met again in beautiful San Francisco and by then we were ready. We dated for a few weeks, she moved in between two flights to the east coast and now we're getting married! There's more to the story that we will share with you… at the wedding.
Her Story
Alyssa grew up in Rochester, New York, where she learned to shovel snow. She attended Boston College and double majored in Biology and Hispanic Studies. After university she moved to California to live with her grandparents and work for the family business. In 2014 she graduated from the University of San Francisco School of Law, passed the bar, was sworn in by the Chief, and started working as an attorney. In her spare time she attempts to have a green thumb, plays with strangers's puppies, and rides her bike.
His Story
JF was raised in historic Quebec City, Canada, where he learned to shovel snow and program computers. He earned a degree in Software Engineering from Université Laval and then moved to California to work for Apple on the iPhone and later the iPad. After 5 years, he switched to Facebook, and now he works on Chromecast for Google. He added photography, cycling, and beer to his list of regular hobbies alongside gaming and programming. He hopes one day to give Alyssa one or more puppies.
