The Beals
Note: Tim Beal '20 (KGCOE) married Nichelle Kelly on June 9th, 2023.

I met Nichelle soon after graduating from RIT. Back in my hometown area, I didn't have many dedicated volleyball players to create a competitive team with locally. So I reached out to some teams at a sports bar. I was given Nichelle's number as she was the team captain. We instantly became best friends and never looked back. We got married in Vernon, NY and now are living in Chittenango, NY.
