Hanna and Ryan met in Fort Worth, Texas. Hanna was going to school in Fort Worth and Ryan accepted his first job out of college in the same city. They met in August of 2015 on the frisbee field. Their team (Golden Snatch) won the championship of Fort Worth Ultimate Frisbee League that year but the bigger prize was when Ryan asked out Hanna on their first date that December. Their first date lasted 9 hours when they went to a video game arcade bar and the rest is history. They have one fur child together, the infamous Chessie Smith.
