On a night out in October of 2019, they first met at a bar in Tucson, Arizona. Andrew was a first year ENT resident and Shannon was a nurse in the ED at the same hospital. They had their first date a few weeks later in Sabino Canyon. It took Andrew almost a year to officially ask Shannon to be his girlfriend because he "didn't know he had to ask". Luckily, after a few great years of dating he knew he had to ask her to marry him. He proposed in April of 2024 in Sabino Canyon. They moved to Bend, OR in August of 2024 with their first (fur) baby Bryn. They added (fur) baby number two, Brewer, to the family in July of 2025. They can't wait to show everyone around their new hometown & celebrate their love with the people they love!
