Brett and Kelsey met in September of 2021 at Coonans Irish Hub. She was working as a bartender while attending grad school, and he would come into Coonans with the Garber football coaches on Thursday and Friday nights after games. One of the coaches (Coach Reed) asked Kelsey if she was single and she replied "Who's asking?!". He said he was getting her number to give to "that guy down there" while pointing at Brett, she wrote it down on a keno slip and gave it back to the coach. He passed it along to Brett and the rest is history.
