Late April 2025The beginning
Together
Mason and Pyro get together in spring 2025. It doesn't stay casual for long — by early summer they're already planning to meet in person.
How we got here
It moved fast —
in the best way.
From first talking in spring 2025 to an engagement, a move to Florida, and a life that now involves camping trips, techno sets, and a server rack in the house.

First time in person — and camping for Mason's birthday
Mason flies Pyro to New York for 10 days. They meet face to face for the first time and spend Mason's birthday — June 10 — out camping together. The photo in the gallery with the green-and-blue hood under the trees is from that world: tents, canopy, and not wanting the trip to end.

Engaged
Right in the middle of that first trip, they get engaged. No big staged production — just the two of them knowing, early and clearly, that this was it.

Home becomes Port Saint Lucie
Mason moves from New York to Port Saint Lucie, Florida — and loves it. Sunshine, palm trees, botanical gardens at night, and a firm retirement from snow and cold.

The life they're building
Pyro is mixing live techno as DJ Kedi and learning to code — he's now building the website the two of them will share with the world. Mason is running the Pup Mason Datacenter from home, marching at Florida Pride with NCF-PAH alongside Pyro, and filling the in-between with nights out, bar selfies, and heart hands.
