Austin was driving back from a trip with his brother Cody and his sister-in-law Charisa. On the car ride home, they began a conversation with Austin regarding dating and encouraged him to try online. After encouragement, Austin decided to try online dating for the first time and downloaded Upward which they recommended. At the same time, Tysa finally decided to download Upward after almost a year of not dating. After scrolling through tons of profiles, Tysa ultimately really enjoyed Austin’s profile and swiped right! She ran downstairs and went to her car and prayed to the Lord that he would bring Austin specifically to her if it was in his will. Two days later on October 11, 2025 they ended up matching on the app. Their first conversation began by sharing their thoughts about their faith! The rest is history!
