We met in Oct 2019 during an MSU football game. While I (Sydne) completed graduate school in Billings, we committed to a long distance relationship. For 2 years, our weekends were spent traveling the 140 miles back and forth between Bozeman and Billings. In December 2021, we moved in together in Belgrade. We got engaged on Dec 31, 2023 while on a trip in Jackson Hole, WY.
