Brian and Colleen met while Brian was working at Plattsburgh State and Colleen at Clarkson University. He had a baseball game and Colleen was the event manager. The connection was immediate, although it wasn't acted upon until years later. As their careers took them both to the Hudson Valley area, they reconnected after a few "are you single yet" messages through social media. The stars aligned when Colleen and Brian were both available at the same time and quickly came to realize they were made for each other.
