Shanna and Jesse met in the Summer of 2016 when Shanna did an internship for the Sacramento Republic FC. At the time, Jesse was the Head Chiropractor and Head of Sports Science for the Republic. They quickly started spending every spare second together, getting to know each other better. At the end of the internship, Jesse told Shanna that he loved her and he wanted to make them work while she went back to Michigan. During their year apart, they were able to steal some weekends away together every few months. In June 2017, Shanna moved to sunny California to spend the summer with Jesse before starting Chiropractic College at Palmer West. They enjoyed many adventures together as well as trips to Catalina Island and Lake Tahoe. In October, Shanna started school at Palmer. Throughout their time apart, they spent almost every weekend together and continued to adventure when they could. Shanna graduated in December 2020 and now works at the family clinic with Jesse and his family. In July 2019, Jesse and Shanna traveled to Europe for a week and a half trip, traveling through Northern Spain. On July 13 while on a private beach in Ibiza, Jesse got down on one knee and asked Shanna to spend the rest of their lives together. Shanna and Jesse enjoy hiking in Lake Tahoe with their Huskies, traveling, playing board games, hanging out with friends, going out to eat, camping, and spending time with family.
