Jake, born and raised in Pennsylvania, found himself relocating to Iowa to pursue a job with John Deere. Tracy, a native Iowan, was already working at John Deere designing the same product that Jake would soon be working on. After a few years of working together and talking on a daily basis, they started going on dates in the form of weekend get-a-ways and adventure hikes.

Flash forward a couple of years and now they have a home together, numerous home projects, and two pups who love going on adventures as well.

In March 2023, Tracy and Jake took the pups out for a hike and continued playing the never ending game of fetch with their favorite frisbee. Having this be similar to their first date, Jake couldn't think of a better opportunity and it was during this time that he proposed.

Now, Tracy and Jake's life-long adventure will continue with their wedding November 2024!
