When they met, Tim was stationed at Fort Lee, Virginia as a senior instructor of Explosive Ordnance Disposal for the U.S. Army. McKenzie was in the midst of her last year of graduate school at Longwood University on the way to becoming a speech-language pathologist. The two met through an app and Tim quickly asked McKenzie out for a night on the town. They went on their first date to The Circuit and Murphy's Law. After a few friendly pinball competitions, more than a few drinks, and a game of pool...the rest is history.
