Tommy and Madison met on December 14, 2019, and just twelve days later—on December 26th—Tommy asked Madison to be his girlfriend. From that day forward, these two have been inseparable. Their journey hasn’t always been in the same zip code. Baseball often took Tommy far from home, but distance never kept them apart for long. Madison traveled far and wide to cheer him on. Making countless drives to Fresno (eventually moving there), and adventures to Chicago, Cape Cod, Arizona, Washington, Las Vegas, San Diego and many more places. Wherever Tommy landed, Madison found a way to be there. Falling in love at 17 comes with its own set of challenges, but the joy of growing up side by side has far outweighed them. They’ve celebrated milestones, navigated seasons of change, and built a love that has deepened with every chapter. Through every season, they have learned, stretched, and changed—yet somehow, they have always grown toward each other, never apart. At the heart of it all is their shared faith. Their story isn’t just about young love—it’s about the way Jesus has guided their steps, strengthened their bond, and blessed their journey together.
