Our story began in June 2019 in Orlando, Florida, when Keith was beginning his final year of college and Natalie was finishing graduate school. We met while playtesting Supreme Leader, a social strategy board game created by Keith and his friends. Somewhere between strategy & board game politics, we found each other. By sacrificing himself so that Nat could take the win, Keith chose Natalie over victory, and thus the two have been inseparable since, their alliance holding strong to this day.

We made it official February 2020, then quarantined together during the COVID-19 pandemic before spending three long years in a long-distance relationship, with Keith pursuing his PhD at Tulane University in New Orleans and Natalie beginning her career as a speech-language pathologist in Stuart, Florida

In July 2023, we finally moved in together back where it all began: Orlando. Along the way, we’ve built a life around the things we love most: traveling, history, learning languages, creating stories with our friends via tabletop roleplaying games, and raising our two very spoiled cats, Walnut and Ori. On Christmas Eve 2024, Keith proposed to Natalie in the mountains of Jarabacoa in the Dominican Republic, surrounded by family.

Our love for travel has taken us to Belize, Mexico, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, and many other places — and we cannot wait to begin this next adventure together with all of you.
