Curt and Sarah met in Dodgeville Wisconsin while working on a white-tail deer project for the Department of Natural Resources in 2018. Six months after the project was over, Sarah went to Nebraska to visit Curt, and the two of them became official. Their long distanced relationship continued in 2019. Curt visited Sarah in New Mexico/Arizona while she was working on an Elk project. In return, Sarah visited Curt in Florida while he was working on a tortoise research project. Finally in 2020, they were able to be with each other for the longterm as they started their Master's degree together working with California Valley quail. In 2021, faith had stepped in again. They both were offered jobs for the USDA in Columbus Ohio. They have started their journey working together in 2018, and are continuing to work in the wildlife field together to this day. In June of 2022, Curt decided to reel in his trophy catch by proposing to Sarah (For more details on this proposal, you'll just have to ask the couple).
