Trevor and Taylor met during their junior year of high school, introduced by a mutual friend. After a few weeks of group hangouts, anxious conversations, and multiple subtle hints, Trevor finally asked Taylor to be his date to junior prom, and made their relationship official shortly after. The two dated throughout the remainder of high school, and Trevor (begrudgingly!) began to root for Sacred Heart field hockey (sorry, Amber, Cassidy, and Bristol!).

They continued their relationship throughout college, despite the emotional and logistical challenges of long distance. Trevor attended Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN while Taylor attended Lindenwood University in St. Charles, MO - a five hour drive between them. Determined to make the distance work despite Purdue not issuing parking passes for freshman, and Taylor unable to travel due to field hockey commitments, Trevor stored his Honda Accord in an off-campus storage unit and would catch the local bus on Friday after class to fetch his car and visit Taylor for the weekend. Luckily, this only went on for a few months, as Trevor quickly found a loophole in the parking bylaws (a part time job with Purdue’s transportation department).

After her first year, Taylor decided to forego her athletic career and transferred to Bellarmine University to pursue a degree in nursing, making the distance between them a little easier to manage. Trevor continued to visit bi-weekly, this time getting to spend time with both Taylor and his family. Taylor, without field hockey to deal with, was able to go and visit Purdue on occasion too. Together, they toughed it out for four long years before finally graduating - Trevor with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Computer Science, and Taylor a Bachelor's degree in Nursing. Shortly thereafter, Trevor moved back to Louisville and together they bought a house in Fern Creek.

Although not quite ready for kids, Trevor and Taylor’s family began about one year later with the next best thing — a little rescue puppy named Jump Rope. A long-awaited Christmas gift for Taylor, she is endlessly full of energy and always ready to rally at a moment's notice. She definitely lives up to her nickname, “Jumpie”.

After living together for just shy of two years, Trevor decided to take their relationship to the next level, proposing to Taylor on their eighth year dateaversary, surrounded by their closest friends and family.
