We arranged to grab a few drinks together on a chilly March night but ended up on a six hour first date talking about our mutual love of craft beer, Islanders hockey, our careers in recruiting, and how small Long Island makes the world seem.

After dating two years and a few thousand hours commuting to work into the city on the LIRR, we decided to move to Sunnyside, Queens. Not long after, we began the search for a puppy and fell in love with a little yellow lab mix from Puerto Rico, and we brought Finn McCool Feehan home.

It was important to us to travel as much as we could before 'real life' began. In the last four years, we've seen Eric Church perform at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, met Dire Wolves in Ireland, got sunburned in the Bahamas, and drank delicious beer throughout Bavaria.
