While there is much debate about the exact location Ryann and Jon met, they can proudly say that it was at THE Ohio State University. Jon, the football player, fraternity brother, business major, and social man on campus met Ryann, the 4th generation buckeye, out-of-stater, Delta Gamma, and business major, during his sophomore year and her junior year. After being in the same circle of friends and hanging out for a year or so, Jon attempted to ask Ryann out. She was not interested in dating a "football player" at the time but with Jon's persistent and business savvy persuasiveness, she could not deny wanting to also go out on a date. After one date, she knew he was someone special and the rest is history!
