Jeremy and Shawndean first met in high school on a mostly empty school bus where they became fast friends who enjoyed competing with each other in academics, and alleged drag races. They shared interests in music, cars, learning, and feeling out of place in the world (read: gifted emo kids).

Throughout the years they stayed close and continued to challenge each other to be better, often turning to each other for support through the trials and tribulations of young adulthood. As time progressed their friendship thrived as they continued to show support for each other while they figured out what type of people they wanted to become. As they faced major decisions -like persevering through Air Traffic Control training, or starting a private practice- they would spend hours talking it through together, always encouraging each other to do the hard things to make their individual dreams come true.

Looking back it is through these long conversations, and endless support, that their friendship blossomed into a desire to build a life together. In hindsight it’s easy to see that after more than a decade of being in each other's corners, they’d eventually decide to take on the future together.
