Brooke and Reed met at McPherson College in McPherson, Kansas while playing basketball.

Due to an ACL injury Brooke had acquired a 5th year of eligibility and decided to come back to Aurora, Colorado with Reed in tow as he had graduated with his Bachelors from McPherson. Shortly after moving to Colorado Reed and Brooke adopted a tiny black cat that they named Rayne.

Reed began working as a Behavioral Disorder and Learning Disability Para-Educator while Brooke finished basketball and her Bachelors at Colorado Christian University.

Along the way Reed had an opportunity to learn how to become a tax preparer and embarked on that journey at a firm in Denver.

Brooke graduated with her Bachelors and then COVID-19 hit. Reed continued to work as tax preparer while Brooke worked as a physical therapy tech and applied to Physical Therapist Assistant school. At the end of 2020 Reed proposed while on a walk at Cherry Creek Park!

PTA school started for Brooke and Reed was hard at work studying to take the three Enrolled Agent tests to further his career. Reed passed the tests and became a licensed EA!

In the meantime Brooke was on clinical rotations and finishing up school. Brooke passed the NPTE, graduated PTA school, and immediately started working in outpatient physical therapy.

In June of 2024 Reed, Brooke, and Rayne moved to Parker, CO.

Brooke and Reed have grown so much together as a couple and individuals and are ready to take the next step to get married!
