After meeting during a triathlon practice early on their freshman year at the US Coast Guard Academy, Mack and Sam became good friends and continued to work out together after the season ended. That time together and some more time together in navigation class strengthened their bond, and on April 5th of 2022 they started dating.

Since then they have traveled to Ireland, Iceland, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, and last not but least, South Rockwood Michigan. All that time and traveling together convinced them they could probably tolerate each other, Sam decided to propose on August 3rd of 2024.

They will get married on June 7th, 2025 in South Rockwood Michigan.
