Sean and Marisa met at a Strength and Conditioning conference in December 2018. Marisa still lived in Pittsburgh and Sean was working in the Philadelphia area at the time. They began chatting and attended a few sessions together, and eventually exchanged business cards at the end of the second day. (So romantic, right?) After meeting up 2 weeks later to lift weights, eat Thai food, go to Wegman’s, and watch My Cousin Vinny, it was evident this was meant to be more than just a friendship. Sean came to visit Marisa in January and they made it official. They dated long distance for a few months, and then Marisa moved home in July 2019. What began as two people meeting at the right time and right place has grown into a beautiful love story.
