Austin was born and raised in Lubbock, TX. After college he stayed in Lubbock, bought a house, and started his career in business as a healthcare reimbursement consultant.

In the summer of 2022, after completing her first year of pharmacy school, Janae spent a month in Lubbock with her sister Alyssa, and brother-in-law Nick.

Fate prevailed when both Austin and Janae ended up at the same country dance bar. Austin asked Janae to dance and their love story began!

They went on several dates, growing closer every day. When it came time for Janae to return to Arizona they were faced with the decision of continuing their relationship, knowing how difficult it can be dating long-distance. They decided to give it a shot. They knew they had made the right decision as their love continued to grow with every FaceTime call and phone conversation. Over the next year and a half, they traveled to visit each other as much as possible, building the foundation for a lasting relationship.

On December 22, 2023, when visiting for the holidays, Austin proposed at Different Pointe of View, a restaurant overlooking the city lights of Phoenix. The distance between them ended in May, when Austin moved to Phoenix and they got their first apartment together with their dog Rider and fish Bolt!

They now enjoy spending lots of time with family and friends, and Janae is enjoying showing Austin all that Arizona has to offer!
