Though we didn't really get to know each other until a few years later, Daniel and I first met at The Merc in Old Town Temecula, CA. In 2014, I was headlining a show in Palm Springs, CA, and Daniel happened to be playing guitar for one of the opening acts. While waiting for the event to begin, I noticed an empty seat next to Daniel, and asked to join him. A few days later, I was in need of a guitarist last minute for a gig in Eagle, Idaho and once again, turned to Daniel. Having both been regulars for a few years at The Merc, I figured we knew a lot of the same songs. Daniel agreed to the gig, and a couple days later we played our first of many acoustic sets together. We became best friends on that trip and next thing I knew, we were taking turns driving back and forth between Fullerton and Carlsbad to hang out, write, and make cover videos together. Six months later, after a long day of recording for my EP in LA, we were celebrating with Jack and Cokes at my place in Carlsbad, and Daniel kissed me! Daniel called it his 6 month plan when we made it official in April of 2015. Daniel then completed his 6 year plan, when we got engaged 12/12/21 in Pacific Beach, CA.
