The future bridegroom graduated from Anchor Bay High School in New Haven and received a bachelor’s degree in geology from Wayne State University. He is a geospatial analyst and cartographer and a prospective law student at the University of Toledo College of Law. He plans to specialize in property law and environmental law. He is a first-generation American; his family is Polish.
A May 27 wedding has been set.
