We connected through a dating app when Brandy moved back to Oregon after graduating from Washington State University. At the time, James was working on his Mechanical Engineering degree at Oregon State University, but was just about to be out of school for the summer. Our first date was at Block 15 in Corvallis. After dinner, we went on stroll through a nearby park on the OSU campus. On their first date, Brandy knew James was the person she was going to spend the rest of her life with.
