Our Wedding

Years ago, when Nichole was early in her career as a Radio Frequency Engineer at Lockheed Martin’s Space division, she enrolled in a mentoring program in hopes of learning from senior engineers and gaining technical knowledge.

Meanwhile, three years after completing his masters degree in finance, Kyle, who had talked his way into a role as a Senior Test Engineer supporting the GPS satellite program, was asked to mentor a junior engineer.

Kyle was randomly assigned to mentor Nichole. The two had never met before, and had very little information about each other when they first met.

After their first mentoring meeting, Kyle left thinking “Wow! She’s smart and beautiful!” While Nichole left thinking, “That guy is not a real engineer.”

Just one month later, the two informed the coordinators of the mentoring program that they were terminating their mentor/mentee relationship- mostly because it became clear Kyle did not understand radio frequency, and could not support Nichole in her work designing satellite communication systems, but also because their relationship had begun to grow into something more.

Today, after rapid career growth (no thanks to Kyle’s mentorship), Nichole works as a Senior Radio Frequency engineer and Kyle, no longer a “pretend-gineer,” is a Deputy Program Manager. The two, who carpool to the office together, work within the same portfolio of military satellite programs and have desks no more than 10 yards apart.

Kyle and Nichole live together with their dog, Chip, and their (unexpectedly) adopted horse Manny on a ranch in Sedalia. They pack their time outside of work with their shared hobbies: skiing, dirt bike riding, camping, fishing, and playing golf.

Kyle and Nichole, who have both completed a masters degree while working full time in the time since they’ve met, consider supporting each other through growth and challenge as a hallmark of their relationship. Their mutual support and their shared respect is what will secure their relationship as they begin life as a married couple.
