Our story began, as many do, in an unexpected place: the gym. One day in 2014 I asked Nick, "Are you done on this machine?", which he misunderstood as being my "opening line". This led to passing each other cycling on the boardwalk at the same times for weeks! After many miles back and forth, he finally said we should ride together. We clearly have a shared passion for cycling. We take our bikes wherever we go and cycle everywhere around town.

Over the past 10 years, we've pedaled through thousands of miles together, near and far. Through the ups and downs (on our bikes and in life), it's become clear that our paths were always meant to intertwine.

We've shared moments of joy, sorrow, and personal growth. Through it all, our bond has strengthened, and we've realized that we're meant to face life's challenges together.
