We met in college, at the University of New Hampshire, in 1999. Seth was a Resident Advisor in the dorm next to Stacy's during her Freshman year. Stacy happened to work at Macy's at that time with another Resident Advisor, Krystal. They became fast friends and she introduced Stacy to her friends, Seth included. Ironically, Stacy got to know Seth better when she lived with his ex-girlfriend during her Junior year. One of Stacy's distinct memories is of Seth trying to convince her to try broccoli, even though he doesn't eat it haha. During that year Seth started his career at Fidelity and a year or so thereafter Stacy moved to California to pursue her career. They continued to remain in contact over the years despite the distance, occasionally getting together with friends during Stacy's visits home, until 2016 when Seth was able to visit Stacy in California.
