Meet Ollie (by Eli)

Ollie is what you might call the rock in our relationship. He is calm, thoughtful, and unfailingly kind. He is a nurterer at heart. And although he works incredibly hard as an attorney at his law firm, you might never know it. That is because he always prioritizes the people and things that he loves and that bring him joy.

Ollie grew up in New Jersey as one of four tight-knit siblings. Those bonds instilled in him the strong sense of family he has today, and he cherishes being an uncle to his siblings’ six children. If there’s one image that best captures Ollie, it would be him at the stove, cooking a meal for friends and family he has gathered. Few things bring him more joy than welcoming others and making them feel at home.

One of my favorite things about Ollie is his love of the outdoors. He finds beauty in the simplest of things. And he has taught me to listen, to observe, and to love our surroundings.
