We met when Ryan started working for ECS at the Bethel location during the 2020 pandemic. I had been working there for a few months prior to him starting and he started while I was on vacation. After I returned, we were placed on a team together. Soon we requested not to work with each other, he said I was too bossy and picky, and I complained that he couldn't sweep to save his life. A few months pass where we interacted very minimally until we were once again placed on the same team. this time went very differently from the last. We realized at some point he wasn't properly trained, and that our interests aligned quite well. A friendship bloomed as we requested to work together more, and that quickly blossomed into a deeper connection that would soon turn to love.
