Born and raised in Michigan, after graduating from Wayne State University with a Bachelors in Education, Danielle moved 723 miles away to "teach at the beach".

During that time, Connor was graduating from University of Maryland Baltimore County with a Bachelors in Psychology. He was a pitcher on the baseball team, and continues his passion for the game through coaching.

Thank goodness for new-age dating, amirite? As fate would have it, both Danielle and Connor downloaded the infamous Bumble and "swiped right" in April of 2021. After matching, Danielle (unfortunately) messaged Connor with the driest intro ever... "Hey Connor, how was your weekend?". THANKFULLY it worked!!!

Connor and Danielle started dating in May 2021. Since then, they have enjoyed making many memories together- including brewery hopping, movie dates, spontaneous trips, playing kickball, trying new restaurants, and so much more. All the while, he has corrupted her into becoming an Ohio State Buckeye Football fan! (She is still trying to get Connor to warm up to cats...)

In December of 2022, Connor took Danielle for a stroll in the Norfolk Botanical Gardens' Christmas Light Show. There, he asked Danielle to marry him!
