After a failed attempt his freshman year of college, Kyle thought Maddie was just a fellow student at ISU. When senior year rolled around, a mutual friend (Shout out Tara Babic) brought them back together at a sorority dance. Two and a half years later, they moved to Denver together and created a lifestyle of hiking, skiing, and intramural sports. In September 2023, Kyle proposed to Maddie in Phoenix, Arizona. Maddie's favorite thing about Kyle is his authenticity and kindness-Kyle can be himself in any situation and treats every person with so much love and respect. Kyle's favorite thing about Maddie is her competitive spirit-Maddie is the most competitive person in any sport we play, but also has a constant desire to be the best person she can be.
