Hobbies: Dan has the ability to play multiple instruments—like the piano and the trumpet

morning, winning fights having intellectual debates, and teaching Shelby how to
ride a bicycle with gears.

Work: Shelby is currently pursuing a Master’s in Secondary English Education at the University of Connecticut through a 5 year program
Hobbies: Shelby owns a guitar, so she can tell people she’s learning how to play, frequently participates in marathons … on Netflix, avid bicyclist, sleeping in until the last possible moment, taking too many photos of the dogs, literacy tutoring at New Haven Reads, likes to clean obsessively when avoiding schoolwork, chocolate (yes chocolate can be a hobby if you work at it hard enough), and learning American Sign Language.
Short Girl Problem #208: When you’re so short, that you’re best known for being short over your actual accomplishments.
One day Shelby fired up google to research skiing vacations, and somehow she ended up applying for and getting offered a job with the City and County of Denver as a Police Dispatcher. In a town far far away, after graduating from his Masters program, Dan applied to several acoustics firms in multiple cities, and he ultimately accepted an offer to work at a firm in Denver. After months of living in the same city, eventually Dan and Shelby met in what Dan calls the bar for millennials—online. Their first date was at Zanzabar, a local pool hall. They shared a plate of loaded Nachos, played some pool, and the rest is history.
