Our Story

How We Met

Rachel and Neal met on a research project in the UT Human-Centered Robotics Lab. Rachel was performing research in the lab as a graduate student, and Neal was working for the engineering college as a software developer, when they were assigned to support the same research project.

They hit it off over lunch and had their first date at Austin's "Trail of Lights" event at Zilker Park in December 2016.

Since then...

They have adventured together on three continents (including this one), moved to New Mexico, and adopted Leo the cat.
