Kerin and I first crossed paths in high school through mutual friends, but it wasn’t until we reconnected years later on an online dating app that things really took off. From the very first time I saw him — both then and now — I was never afraid to give him a little crap, and luckily, he could handle it. He likes to give it back too;).

We reconnected while I was in PA school and he was living in Sioux Falls, and our first official date was in December 2021. We first went to a brewery and had some great drinks and even better conversation. Not long after, we went golfing, laughing, and realizing how easy it was to have fun together.

Through it all, Kerin has been incredibly loyal and dependable. He’s always there when I need him, constantly encouraging me to be better — and I wouldn’t want to do life with anyone else.
