The Bride
Laura grew up in Las Vegas, and went to Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh to study mechanical engineering where she met Sam. After graduation she worked in Boston at P&G as a process engineer, maintaining a long distance relationship with Sam until he graduated from his Masters, in which they promptly moved together to the Bay Area. Today she works as a mechanical engineer at a robotics startup called RIOS. Laura enjoys painting, reading, astrophotography, and somewhat grudgingly… hiking ;).
The Groom
Sam was born in Indiana but moved around a lot while growing up, living in Illinois, Michigan, and Connecticut until he went to school in Pennsylvania, meeting Laura at Carnegie Mellon in the same undergraduate mechanical engineering program. Sam then decided to pursue a Masters in Robotics, afterwards moving the Bay Area, where he now works at Cruise, an autonomous car company, where he currently works as a robotics engineer. Sam enjoys hiking, video games, and astrophotography in his spare time.
