We met through mutual friends a few times over the years, but the real story begins in May of 2022. That’s when "sparks flew" as some might say, and by June—after working cattle together (and actually working well together, shockingly enough!)—we started dating.

Since then, things moved right along. We got engaged in 2023, welcomed our dog Rein into the family, and bought a house in 2024. These days, we run cattle with my parents—and, as they say, the rest is history.
