Sean and Shantel met in 2012 when she was a freshman and he was a sophomore in high school. He used to think she was cute, so he would try to hit on her and make her laugh whenever they hung out with a group of friends. However, to his demise, she thought he was weird. Fast forward a year, they saw each other at the gym. Sean starts to mimic how Shantel is doing calf raises, with a really heavy 5 pound dumbbell. Of course, he makes her laugh, they talk for a while after that, and finally on April 26, 2013 they started dating.
Shantel and Sean graduated from Upper Perk High school a year apart and started school at Kutztown University in 2015. Shantel graduated KU in 2019 and started grad school at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. Sean transferred to University of the Arts to finish his degree so they could live together while Shantel started her PhD. During this time they moved in together, adopted 3 cats, and got engaged on December 17th 2021. ❤️
As Shantel finishes her degree, they are (finally) planning a wedding!
