Nine years ago, Pete happened to go to his local bar in Seattle, where he happened to meet and befriend a gentleman who was dating a lovely young lady (who happened to be Britt's sister, Brea). Although it took nine years, Pete moving to Oakland (from Seattle), and Britt moving to Placerville (from Colorado), they were finally introduced via text. Finally, a first date was settled upon, and the July 21, 2018 Battle of the Bay baseball game became the biggest walk-off win for both the Oakland A's and Pete. The rest, as they say, is history!
