We first meet while working together at Diamond Resorts and connected through our shared faith and love of nature. Our first dates were spent in the great outdoors doing memorable hikes and experiencing fishing around the Tahoe area. Our relationship is founded on faith and together we have grown spiritually, coming closer to God in the past two years. Gary proposed to me on March 8th, 2021 in the wake of his friend Brian's passing . This was special to the both of us because we realized how short our time is and It provided us clarity.
