We first met in 2016 on the Flogging Molly Salty Dog Cruise through mutual friends, but we've been circling each other all our lives. We grew up not far from each other, we've had mutual friends throughout life and we've been to many of the same concerts and events.

When we first met, we were both with other people. We saw each other on the same cruise in 2017 and ran into each other at shows off and on, but Brian was living in Richmond, Virginia, so he only came back to Michigan sporadically.

In 2022, we ran into each other at a Flogging Molly / Interrupters concert, and we were both single. Things developed quickly between us and we've been together ever since.

We talk all the time about the fact that we've literally been within 20 miles of each other almost all our lives and "if only" we'd met sooner...

We're together now and will be forever, because WE'RE MADE FOR EACH OTHER.
