Jackson and Elliette met in March 2020 on Hinge when they both still lived in Georgia. Due to Covid, they face time dated for a month before meeting in person. They loved their time in Georgia, but wanted move back home closer to family (either Knoxville or Asheville). A few months later, when Jackson got a new job in Knoxville, the destination was picked and the move began!

Jackson currently works at Denso as a supplier quality engineer while Elliette works in finance and accounting. She recently graduated from UT Chattanooga with an MBA and plans to start her CPA in 2024.

Since moving to Knoxville, Jackson and Elliette brought home their Blue Heeler, Storm (best Christmas present ever!). They also bought a house, have a full garden, including an orchard, and raise a flock of chickens (which they lovingly call their little morons).

In their spare time, Jackson loves going to the gun range in Oak Ridge or out hunting for deer. Elliette has found a new barn family at Select Sport Horses where she rides a few times a week. She's hoping an animal with hooves will be added to the family soon!

They have fully enjoyed building a life together in Tennessee and can't wait for the future. Jackson always says he brought the best thing about Georgia home with him and Elliette definitely agrees.
