Our Story

It all began with a first date at a local Des Moines bar called El Bait Shop. The date included: a bartender that loved sending over free mini beers, co-workers crashing the date and lots of laughs. From there the next few dates just planned themselves, from putting together apartment furniture to attending a hockey game, we had fun with anything we did together. Des Moines will forever be a place we love going back to not only because it is the start of our story, but because of the incredible friendships it gave us and the many memories we made there.


After both spending 5 years in Iowa, two of which were spent together, we decided to make the move to Wisconsin to be closer to family. We officially became Milwaukee residents as of October, 2024 and look forward to continuing to explore our new home.

Meeting the band! We had been camping in Okoboji and happened to see this crew drinking on the side of a county high way and getting cars to cheer and honk for them. So naturally we stopped and offerred them some of our camping beers and sat and joined for a few hours. We came to find out they were performing at a local venue and were they a blast to see on stage!

Mike's first race with the family, and completed in record time. He somehow managed to have drinks waiting for others with the help of his future father in law.
