Erica
Erica grew up in Connecticut where part of her family owns a garden center and another side owns a summer camp for horseback riding. She was named after a flower and certainly grew up with an appreciation for the outdoors.
After high school, Erica attended Pace University to study mathematics and special education. There, she met Andrew who helped her hone her skills as a foodie. After a year of a long distance relationship after graduation, Erica moved south to start a life as a teacher in DC with Andrew by her side. In DC, Erica loves to eat great food, drink red wine and explore hikes in the area.
Andrew
Andrew grew up in Northern Virginia but frequently made the trip to Weschester, New York to visit his grandparents so he has picked up on some of the New Yorker ways. Every summer, he spent the majority of his time at his grandparent’s beach house in Wildwood, New Jersey. He was always very active and almost never played inside.
Andrew got a lacrosse scholarship to attend Pace University. While he and Erica didn’t start dating until senior year, they were friends from the very first day of freshman year after meeting in Dow Hall. After college and moving back south, Andrew has found a career in sales. However, his passion still lies with the outdoors and can typically be found riding his bike or picking trash out of the Anacostia River.
