We met at our hometown gym during our winter break in 2015 and connected quickly over mutual friends and love for JMU football. We became good friends and kept in touch over the next four years while Casey entered his coaching journey and Hailey finished out her time at JMU. In May 2019, we went on our first date to Chipotle and have been together since. We spent the first six months of our relationship long distance from Charlottesville, VA to Dallas, TX while Casey was coaching at SMU and Hailey was beginning her career. During this time, we earned major airline mileage and made the best Texas memories- including more college football games than we can count and our personal favorite, the Texas State Fair. Casey moved back to Virginia in early 2020 and we got our first apartment together in Culpeper, VA. We have had so much fun building our life together. We enjoy and prioritize time with our friends and family, hiking, skiing, golfing, the gym, the lake, and all things football. We continue to support each other through every career change, big moment, and can't wait for what the future holds.
