It all began with a right swipe on Hinge… who would’ve thought 2 truths and a lie about turtle eggs would’ve brought us together?! Shortly after meeting, Shae left for Ireland and while the distance could have been a barrier, it became the foundation for something stronger. For those six months, we built our connection across time zones, with video calls that stretched into the night, countless messages, and daydreams of the life we could create together. When we finally closed the distance, it felt like the most natural thing in the world. Within a year of meeting, we were not only living together, we were creating a home. A home that included our two sweet doggies, who added even more love (and a little chaos) to our lives. Since then, we’ve been on the move, traveling to new places, chasing adventure, competing side by side, and soaking in everything this incredible life has to offer. We’ve learned that love doesn’t follow a timeline, that the best things in life often begin unexpectedly, and that when you find your person, you leap. Every day, we choose each other. Every day, we write the next chapter of our story. And the best part? We’re just getting started.
