Anthony and Mariah met in September of 2019 when Mariah started working with Anthony as a trainer at Lifetime Fitness in Roseville.

Anothony liked to never wear his correct name tag, so for the first few weeks they knew each other, Mariah wasn't sure what his name was, but once she finally found out his name, they became best friends.

One of their first memories together was having lunch at Lifetime, where much to Anthony's shock, Mariah was able to eat more than him (who was Olympic lifting at the time).

A few months after they began working together, the gym was closed due to COVID-19; however, they remained friends as they spent countless hours fishing together at the Sacramento River. Another hobby they came to love during this time was camping. They went on many trips with family and friends and explored some of the most beautiful places in California.

After a few years of close friendship, Anthony asked Mariah to be his girlfriend during the summer of 2021. Since then, they have chosen to spend almost all of their time with family and friends, camping, working out, traveling, eating delicious food, fishing, or spending time with their dogs, Diesel and Greasy.

On November 30th, 2023, Anthony proposed to Mariah at Folsom Lake, which had become a special spot for them. They had spent countless days with friends and their pups at Folsom and have enjoyed many special moments there together.
