The short story is that David and Robyn met through their mutual friend Stacy.

The longer version is a bit more involved....

Robyn met Stacy in May of 2014 when she traveled to Morocco with the JDC. They became friends fast through the adventure. David met Stacy the same year at Tribefest in Las Vegas, an event produced by JFNA.

On March 21st, 2016, Stacy introduced Robyn and David through Facebook Messenger. Stacy's message was thinly veiled and asked David to help Robyn with her application for JFNA's National Young Leadership Cabinet. David and Robyn are super grateful for Stacy's less than stellar command of New York State geography: as a Texan, she though Manhattan (Robyn) and Saratoga Springs (David) were pretty much nearby neighbors, not a 3 hour drive.

It took over a month before David fabricated an excuse to be in New York City for a weekend so they could meet (A couple weeks of international travel and Passover got in the way). During David and Robyn's texting courtship, Robyn shared her SoulCycle obsession and suggested the two go together when he finally made it to New York City. David had heard of SoulCycle from his cousin Danielle and was curious.

Robyn and David's first date was a Madonna themed SoulCycle ride complete with at least two costume changes by Ryan the instructor. Robyn admits it was a risky move but certainly a risk worth taking. David and Robyn survived their first ride together, along with the subsequent four hour dinner, and managed to sneak in two more dates in the next two days before David headed back to Saratoga Springs.

SoulCycle even wrote a story about Robyn and David! https://www.soul-cycle.com/community/inspiration/t...
