Chad and Amanda’s story began in the fall of 2020, when two people with shared values, dreams, and goals crossed paths. It didn’t take long for their connection to deepen, and in early 2021, Amanda & Chad settled into their first apartment together in Gibbstown, marking the beginning of their life together. In September 2021, they welcomed their first furry family member, Roscoe, a Miniature Australian Shepherd who instantly stole their hearts. That same year brought their first big adventures as a couple, traveling to Disney and the Bahamas, creating unforgettable memories. In January 2022, Amanda joined Chad in the solar industry, working briefly at the same company before Chad set off to follow his entrepreneurial path. That April of 2022, they took another big step by purchasing their first home together in Williamstown, NJ. Chad took time in 2023 and 2024, starting his own business (Panel Masters of NJ), and in July of 2024, he asked Amanda to marry him. Just a few months later, Amanda officially joined Panel Masters of NJ in October 2024, and the two have been building their business—and their future—side by side ever since. On September 17th, 2026, Amanda and Chad will become The Troughtons, ready to celebrate not only their love story, but the life they've built together and all the adventures still to come.
