We met in Boiling Springs, NC at Gardner-Webb University. Alain left his hometown in Kristiansand, Norway to play soccer and I left my hometown in Westerville, OH also to play soccer. I was the designated driver one weekend in college and Alain just so happened to be in my car. Rather than me sitting in a smoky club waiting to drive everyone back to campus, Alain asked if I wanted to grab a drink at the bar across the street (Alain bought me a bottle of water). We spoke for hours that night and the rest is history!
