Both Adam and Machaela moved to Baltimore, MD in late July of 2017. As both Adam and Machaela are soccer players, they met at an event that heavily involved soccer (and beer!) Adam worked for a non-profit called Soccer Without Borders, and Machaela was volunteering for the organization. The festival, that took place in Adam's neighborhood, was going to have volunteers pouring beer at the festival and collecting tips to benefit the organization. On a whim that morning, Adam decided to swing by the festival booth and thank the volunteers. After meeting Machaela, he decided to stick around for a few hours and lend a hand. This led to getting lunch after the beer pouring shift was over and a friendship developed. A few weeks later, Adam built up the courage to ask Machaela out to dinner. It was at this dinner that they realized they had more in common than they both realized. These included a favorite color, a love of similar music and movies, even shared the same guilty pleasure song. And as they say, the rest is history!
