Brian and Terry have been together for over 26 years. They officially married on their 9-year anniversary in Canada, before it was broadly legal in the US. They grew up in the same town in a suburb of Dayton, Ohio. They met at a data/technology company where they moved up in the ranks and spent most of their careers. Their shared retirement goal since almost the beginning of their relationship was to find and move to a place with sunny weather year-round and near the ocean. They never took Their eyes off of that goal. About 13 years ago they vacationed in Cabo and fell in love with the place. They have had two homes constructed there. In 2018 They moved to Cabo full-time, bringing their dogs and Terry’s mom with them. Terry’s mom had been living with them for many years. Part of the reason for relocating at that time was that her advanced age and mobility were becoming very limited. The longer they waited, the more complex the move and transition would be. Upon moving to Cabo, Terry retired and Brian transitioned into a consulting role in the data/technology industry where he is home based in Cabo.I.
