Our Story

How We Met

Picture of How We Met

We first met on Bumble where we connected over our dreams and aspirations. Our first date was at Becky's favorite coffee shop. We bonded over our love for the outdoors, family, animals, and a background in engineering. Mark knew he liked Becky when she whipped out a gnarly photo of her wrist surgery within the first hour of meeting. The conversation was effortless!


For our second date, Mark recommended a hike that was very short and easy, unsure if Becky was serious about her love for hiking. He quickly realized he was going to be outmatched.


Through the years we have hiked and backpacked hundreds of miles together and climbed cliffs all over the country. Mark has introduced Becky to new activities like rock climbing and skiing that she has grown to love. Becky has introduced Mark to new things like Korean food, painting, and Love is Blind (his new favorite show).
