It started with an interview. The time was May of 2019 and Ryker was looking for a summer internship. He applied for a project management program at a tech company. Ryker easily navigated the initial HR interview. Next was a peer interview with someone named Sarah Bowers. The two hit it off. Ryker charmed and impressed during the phone call, providing tales that exemplified his humor and strong work ethic. In the end, it was a no-brainer. He was the man for the job. When Ryker started the internship, Sarah was assigned to be his mentor and onboarding buddy. As the days turned to weeks, they realized how much they enjoyed each other's company. When Ryker and Sarah were not working on utilization reports or spreadsheets, they were constantly laughing, sharing stories, and taking countless trips to the espresso machine. Sarah knew it was fate when the two discovered they had the same favorite cocktail, a New York Sour. Ryker and Sarah’s coworkers picked up on the sparks. One day, when the team had plans to go to dinner and a movie after work, the coworkers conspired and “coincidentally” did not show up to dinner, which resulted in Ryker and Sarah going on their first date. As soon as Ryker’s internship ended, and not a moment before (wink, wink), Sarah and Ryker started dating and the rest is history. That’s Amore!
