Alysha was a sophomore at Arizona Christian University when Dan transferred to the school for his junior year. They were both on the golf team and got to spend lots of time together on the golf course. They have heard and seen a lot of each other throughout practices, tournaments, and hangouts with the golf team, but it wasn't until their senior year that Dan and Alysha become more than just teammates. Alysha shared her interest in the show Stranger Things and invited Dan to watch it. As they binged their way through each season of stranger things together, they got closer and closer and decided to make things official on December 22, 2017.

Dan and Alysha have been dating since December of 2017. Four years into their dating relationship, Dan finally said enough is enough and decided to pop the question. Dan and Alysha went up to the Bonnell family cabin in Prescott, Arizona on an April weekend. Dan invited Alysha on a hike in the backyard of the family's cabin and had her lead the way on this hiking trail. As Dan and Alysha were hiking, they walked over a bridge, and there Dan got on one knee and proposed! Dan and Alysha got engaged April 23, 2022.
