Max and Brenna met during their junior year of high school at Pinkerton Academy. Brenna loves to cook and had signed up for Foods & Nutrition, an elective course. Max had been put in that course by his guidance counselor, after a serious knee injury his sophomore year put him in need of a few extra credits. Max had every intention of switching out of the class, until the girl sitting a few rows up caught his eye. He managed to request her as a cooking partner, and Brenna and Max spent the semester getting to know each other. They began dating right before Prom that spring. After high school graduation, Brenna set off for Ohio to attend Otterbein University, and Max stayed in New Hampshire and began playing junior hockey. They reconnected on school breaks, and continued their relationship even when Brenna's journey took her across the globe to study abroad in Australia. Brenna moved back to New England in the fall of 2017, and the rest, as they say, is history!
