Chad and I first met at a party in the spring of 2014 when we were just starting to live out our early 20s (Shoutout to Tyler Tran for introducing us). He ended up leaving for Hawaii for college and we remained friends via Instagram. In the summer of 2015, I remembered waking up at 5 AM to Tyler calling me to go hike with him and a couple of our mutual friends... including Chad. I told him I would call him back because I didn't want to go but something that day made me get up and go. So I ended up joining them. Chad drove and I was in the passenger seat and we caught up with each other the whole drive... and the rest is history!
