Adam is originally from Michigan, and Mary from New Jersey. Both grew up playing sports and loving pools. Adam swam at Ohio State University, and Mary played lacrosse at Rutgers U. After graduating, both were drawn to careers in coaching, and that's how it all began. Mary and Adam were both hired into the Drexel Athletic department the same summer seven years ago- coaching their respective sports. With the Drexel pool being in the basement and the lacrosse field off-campus, the two did not cross paths very often...in fact, rarely at all. Luckily Adam's administrator's office (Hey Jamie) was directly next to Mary's, and soon he stopped by Mary's office as frequently as he could. They helped each other stay sane during their seasons, and supported each other's coaching highs and lows. In the summer of 2017, Adam let Mary visit the outdoor summer pool he manages as much as her heart desired, Mary invited Adam to be her +1 to a friend's wedding (shout out to Hannah and Waz), and the rest is history! Adam proposed to Mary in July of 2019 at the top of Philadelphia's City Hall. He surprised her with not only a proposal and a custom ring (shout out to the Kelly's), but a photo shoot, dinner, and a party of family and friends on the water at Spruce Street Harbor Park. Their favorite things to do together are catch live music shows, cook, travel, compete, and hang out with Millie Bobby Braun, their mastiff mix dog. They also keep a close watch on that Ohio State/Rutgers football rivalry, since the games are always so close! They are so excited and appreciative of family and friends coming together to celebrate their love!!
