We met by swiping right! I was in my last year at the University of Tennessee and Connor was new to Knoxville starting his career as an Engineer. The majority of our dates included (and still includes) eating out or trying the latest brewery. For our 4th or 5th date, I tried to impress Connor by suggesting something more adventurous: hiking, After taking 20 breaks to catch my breath and some sore legs later - the date turned into drinking. This helped us realize that our shared love of booze is what really sealed the connection. And that we should stick to sedentary drinking activities.

We reside in Knoxville and are the proud parents of our fur babies: Izzy, Ned and Tonks. I am a Total Rewards Specialist with ID.me while Connor is an Engineer at Denso.
