We both were born and raised in the state of Missouri (Dan in St. Louis and Lizzy in Kansas City). We both went to school at the University of Memphis where Dan shot for the rifle team and Lizzy played for the soccer team. We started coaching for our respective sports a few years later. Long story short, Lizzy was living with Jim and Janet Miller at the time. Jim was serving Dan's rifle team for a delicious BBQ. Lizzy offered her help to Jim at the range. Jim graciously introduced Dan and Lizzy, and "let the Holy Spirit take care of the rest". We started dating a couple months later :)
