Sam grew up in Smithtown, New York while Curt was raised aproximately 350 miles away in Portland, Maine. Unbeknownst to the other, they each decided to pursue a college education at the University of Maine at Orono. However, they did not meet until a chance encounter at a party during the fall semester of their sophomore year. They began dating in the spring of 2016.
Following graduation, they moved to New Hampshire to begin their work careers - Sam as a biomedical engineer in Massachusetts and Curt as a chemical engineer in Nashua, NH. They added a dog, Remy, to the family in 2020. After a couple of years, they purchased a home just south of Portland.
In November 2022, Sam and Curt welcomed their first child, Anya.
