our story
Aaron grew up in Wheaton, Illinois, part of the growing suburbia outside of Chicago. After high school, he moved only a few blocks away to attend Wheaton College. While there, Aaron double majored in Computer Science and Theology. At Carnegie Mellon University, he went on to complete a Master's degree at the Language Technologies Institute. Now Aaron has embarked on the seemingly endless road of a PhD graduate student.

Lindsay grew up in the frozen tundra of northern Minnesota in a small town called Roseau, just ten miles south of Canada. Lindsay also attended Wheaton College and majored in History and completed the Secondary Education Certifcation program. She is currently teaching Social Studies at Eden Christian Academy in Sewickley, Pennsylvania.

We met at Wheaton College and, after developing a strong friendship, began dating during our Sophomore year. On May 22, 2004, we took the next step and were married at Wheaton Bible Church. We are enjoying the adventures of our first years together. In the summer of 2005, after spending two months supporting Wycliffe's Bible translation work in Papua New Guinea, we moved to Pittsburgh. Here Aaron began his graduate work and Lindsay began her teaching career. Recently we purchased our first home and spend most of our spare time working on it. Little by little, each day our journey continues...
