Brendan and Rachel met on the dating app called Hinge. They had no idea that in December 2023, their collective right swipes would hinge them together for the foreseeable future.

Being a Technical Program Manager for Netflix, Brendan used his organizational skills to plan fun dates that wholeheartedly impressed Rachel. Rachel, a first grade teacher, used her silliness and grace to charm Brendan, keeping him on his toes and laughing throughout each date. *see first three dates below

1. Dallas Stars Game

2. Puttery (inside putt putt, yes Brendan beat Rachel and got 7th overall).

3. Dallas Museum of Art

They made their relationship boyfriend/girlfriend official on January 20, 2024. The rest of that year was filled with so many amazing adventures that Rachel recorded them in a memory book, so that they would always remember their timeline together. *see top 10 memorable moments below
