We are two people who continually push and support each other to try new things, and to grow each other individually and together as a team.
We would like to thank you for supporting Dylan Murphy in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
It all started in the most unexpected place: a dental office. Dylan swears he asked Jessica out more than once—but each time, she kindly (or not-so-kindly) said no. Persistence, however, has a way of paying off, and eventually, something changed. One date to the fair was all it took for us to realize there was something worth exploring—and we haven’t stopped adventuring together ever since.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory started out as a normal day, heading out to the coast to take our dogs to a dog beach. We have a sprinter van Dylan converted for his track days, and on the way out the sun started setting. We were able to park along the coast, doors open in the van and just sat there until the last glimpse of color went away. Simple, but beautiful and carefree, just the way that our relationship is.
What would you do with $20,000?We are getting married in October and 20,000 would help us with a down payment to build our future together. Dylan is chasing the American dream and starting his own business, and we would love to own a home together and plant roots in the community that we fell in love in. Plus a spot with some land to build a home dirtbike track in would be our ultimate dream.
