I know what you’re thinking—ish. Who is this Cameron Friscia, and how did he land the witty Kat Timpf?
Apparently, he’s one of the many unsung heroes of the country who happens to like his life outside the limelight.
Yet, behind his low-key persona is a story worth sharing—a former U.S. Army ranger who served his country, then swapped his combat boots for a suit in finance!
So, how does Cameron meet our heroine, and how did he go from the military world to the finance world? Well, that’s what I’m about to uncover today!
Early Life
Cameron James Friscia was born on August 10, 1986, and will be 38 in 2024. I couldn’t find enough information about his family and childhood compared to his famous wife.

However, I did manage to find a couple of things!
For starters, Cameron grew up in New York City, surrounded by a supportive and accomplished family. It also seemed that his household valued discipline and good education.
So, he attended Choate Rosemary Hall, a prestigious boarding school in Connecticut, where he developed his academic and personal skills.
Following his time at Choate, Cameron enrolled in Hackley School before moving on to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where he pursued a degree in science.
That’s where the next chapter of his life began.
Military Service

While there aren’t any resources that could tell you why Cameron chose to follow a military career, I believe we could all guess.
As heartbreaking as it is, 9/11 shaped a lot of lives in America. At the time of the attacks, Cameron was only 15 years old and had seen how violent the world can truly get.
So, he joined the Military Academy and did not leave the forces for well over a decade.
After nearly 15 years in service with roles such as Company Executive Officer, Assistant Operations Officer, and Executive Assistant to a Brigade Commander, he made the difficult decision to retire in 2014.
He’s also a former Army Ranger with the 101st Airborne Division, where he served in Afghanistan in 2012, experiencing the intensity of combat firsthand.
In those challenging terrains, where each day brought new uncertainties and fears, Cameron grew close to the men by his side, forming bonds only those in such high-stakes situations could understand.
Reflecting on his service, Cameron described it as both humbling and gratifying. On his last day in uniform, he posted a heartfelt message, paying tribute to his fallen classmates and acknowledging their ultimate sacrifice.

He said “I have experienced things that most people will never do,” to describe the weight of memories that would haunt him forever.
However, he also added “If I had to do it again, I would sign up without hesitation,” declaring that, no matter the cost, knowing these men and fighting for his country isn’t something he’s willing to take back.
Career
After wrapping up the military chapter of his life, Cameron shifted his attention towards finance.
His interest in investment and wealth management grew during his military years, leading him to begin this journey as an intern at Bank of America.
The experience he gained there paved the way for his role as a dealer at Merrill Lynch Pierce & Smith Inc., a Bank of America Division specializing in wealth management and investment.
Today, Cameron is a research associate at Coatue Management, a known technology-focused investment firm based in NY.
Personal Relationships
Now, we’re back to the main question: How did Cameron get together with Kat Timpf? Here’s what I can tell you:
Meeting and Falling in Love
Kat Kimpf and Cameron Friscia’s love story began in a very modern way: On a dating app called Raya!

This is a famous application used by celebrities to, hopefully, meet the love of their lives. Their first moments together weren’t a case of instant chemistry.
In fact, Kat, known for her bold opinions, admitted that she felt Cameron wasn’t really her “type” at first.
She said,”He seemed so clean-cut,” comparing him to the more unconventional personalities she’d dated before.
However, this didn’t stop them from going on a second date, a third, a fourth, and well, I am sure they lost count by the time they made it to the altar!
Over time, she came to see him as her perfect match, appreciating his stability and sense of self.
From Dating to Engaged, Then Wedding Bliss
The couple got engaged in 2020 but didn’t let anybody know immediately. They kept the news under wraps until Kat flashed her ring on The Greg Gutfeld Show and playfully shared the news.
In May 2021, the couples exchanged vows in a small, private ceremony, with Fox News host Lisa Kennedy Montgomery officiating.

Kat made her walk down the aisle to “I Wanna Grow Old With You” by Adam Sandler. She wore a beautiful sleeveless lace dress from Kleinfeld and, in a rare move, took off her signature glasses for most of the day!
For Kat, who had once questioned marriage, this was more than just a wedding; it was a sign she had found the right person, with whom marriage felt only right.
Starting a Family
Living in New York with their two beloved pets, Carl the dog and Cheens the cat, Cameron and Kat found a rhythm and warmth to life that many dream of.

Moreover, the security and joy she found with Cameron have allowed her to embrace the idea of family in ways she hadn’t considered before.
That said, Kat announced in an Instagram post in July 2024 that they’re expecting their first child!
Final Words
The story of Cameron Friscia is full of hardship, bravery, and, ultimately, true love.
Considering all that he went through to get where he is today, I can only admire his resilience and commitment to a life of service.
His story reminded me that nothing is set in stone. After all, who would’ve thought that after nearly 15 years with the military, Cameron would turn into a finance bro?
I wish him and his wife nothing but success and happiness as they navigate this new chapter of life with their future baby!
