Tyler’s Story
Tyler was raised near Napa, CA, developing early passions for all sports. This led to a love of rock climbing and then search and rescue, with skiing added to the mix as an adult. Academics and medicine bloomed during undergrad leading to the pursuit of being a physician associate. After spending several years as a provider in the neuro ICU at Yale, he now works at Cornell. He also spent a ton of time caring for Covid patients in NYC and Brooklyn in spring/summer 2020 and beyond, when NYC was the pandemic epicenter. His dream and delusion is to one day beat Arielle at skiing.
Arielle’s Story
Arielle grew up in Federal Way, WA and Sun Valley, ID with her parents and grandparents. At an early age, she developed a passion for skiing, and throughout her life, a love for service and grassroots activism and campaign work on social issues. She has lived across the US pursuing her ambitions, and eventually developed a passion for science, medicine and working with people one on one. After spending years in cystic fibrosis research, she now runs an MCAT prep business, which is growing rapidly.
Our Story
We met in 2013 in the most-nerdy way possible: Anatomy class at Berkeley. A study date led to a first, real date with drinks at the The Buena Vista in San Francisco, and a cable car ride where they shared their first kiss. Sparks flew and love bloomed! Our shared passions of skiing, science fiction, country music concerts and delicious food has sealed our love, setting the stage for adventure from coast to coast. Love, laughter, and joy are at the core of our relationship, for which we feel blessed and grateful to have found such happiness.
