About Us

Caroline

Caroline was born and raised in Pittsburgh. She attended Oakland Catholic High School and then the University of Pittsburgh where she studied accounting and Italian. She later earned her MBA and now works in Corporate Finance. She comes from a tight-knit family, with everyone still in the Pittsburgh area. She loves dogs (refer to the many pictures of Joel), baking, and reading.

About Us

RJ

RJ was born and raised outside Philadelphia (yes he is a Philly Sports Fan). He attended the University of Pittsburgh and currently works as a Mechanical Engineer. He is the middle of three children and has an older sister and a younger brother. He plays paddleball in his spare time and always has a home improvement project to work on. He enjoys learning new things, and his perfect day would be reading a book on the beach.

RJ and Caroline first met at the University of Pittsburgh. After first meeting she thought he was “weird” and he thought she was “not his type”. It only took a year of friendship for them to come to their senses and start dating. They have been together for over 10 years and have been married since 2016. They have spent time living in both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and currently reside in the North Hills with their dog Joel (named after Joel Embiid).
