Even though his father died at a young age, the event kept all the siblings close, and his mother raised all the siblings as her own.

However time apart made them realize they both deserved better. And deep down Sam knew that Stacey was not the one. She was someone to date at the academy. Sam hated being alone, and with Jamie dating Karan, he felt that he needed Stacey at the moment. But now that he was on his own, away from everyone. He could focus on finding the right girl.

Sam joined Starfleet with his good friend Jamie Sullivan, but both of them choose separate career paths, that eventually lead them on different paths. While Samwas learning how to fly the Valkyrie and Volga class small crafts, his buddy was learning about tactical and security operations aboard a ship or a station. The two men kept in contact, after hours, and even though both men had girlfriends, they made it a point to keep in touch. They remained close throughout the academy. Sadly for Sam, when it came time for assignments, Jamie wanted to stay closer to the academy his girlfriend still had a couple of years. So did Sam, but they tried for a few months before calling it quits in 2393. |
