On a late weekday night in May 2015, Jeff decided to pay a visit to a local bar in Bayshore, The Cortland, where his brother Alex was bartending. Jeff noticed a tall blonde walk by and towards the back of the bar. Jeff asked Alex if he knew who the tall blonde was; Alex did not. After a few strong drinks made by Alex, and some cheesy pick-up lines, Jeff introduced himself to Kate, numbers were exchanged and the rest is history! Kate and Jeff's first date followed a few weeks later at the Nautical Mile in Freeport followed by a competitive round of mini golf (Jeff almost fell head first into a water hazard). Their love quickly blossomed sparking and sharing many interests such as traveling, comic-con, scuba diving, archery, Star Wars and participating in Tough Mudders.
