Heather is a true Southerner, born and raised in Alabama. Curt grew up in Michigan and found his way south for a job as a professor after completing his PhD. Heather was a busy 1st year resident. Both had completed their education and were ready to find each other! Like many modern romances, they met on the internet. Okay, to sound less creepy, they met on Match.com. Maybe they should be featured in a commercial ; ) After a first meeting for tapas lead to hours of chatting, the two knew they had found something special. They got engaged while on a hike overlooking Lake Michigan during a family vacation on September 7, 2020.
