Our couple shared that they unknowingly grew up .3 miles away from each other, around the block. Kate’s brother played sports with Nate when they were youngsters but they don’t remember one another. Their dad’s apparently “chatted it up” as neighbors back in the day about old cars. Our couple actually met on a dating ap, and they have been dating 3 years. They got engaged September 2023. Our couple reside and work in the Camarillo area. Kate is a registered nurse with focus in surgery department at a hospital in Ventura. Nate works for his family owned business RJ Myers, they are in the environmental business and have a long history of owning gas stations.
