Ryan and Stacee met while working as teachers at BASIS Phoenix Central. Stacee had been working there as a Kindergarten teacher for almost a year when Ryan started. Stacee was the social one asking people to go out and check out the night life in downtown Phoenix. She invited Ryan, but he declined until one night they ran into each other. Ryan and Stacee started spending more time together. Their first date was carving pumpkins at his studio apartment in which they both carved some pretty cool pumpkins. The next night they did a more formal sushi date at the Biltmore. After more time spent together they knew it was a good match. Opposites do attract!
