Eric and Madison met through mutual friends in the Spring of 2021. Madison's friend brought her to Eric's Starr Ave house where they met for the first time. They spent the months leading up to Eric's Chicago move getting to know one another. They both took turns traveling to see the other at least once a month. Eric's move to Chicago was shortened by his acceptance into the Physician Assistant Program at Ohio University located back in Columbus. Since then, the two have continued to travel, spend time with each other's family, and grow their relationship!
