How did your love story begin?

We met in May 2008 at a nightclub neither of us planned to attend. My wife had just escaped an abusive relationship; I was healing from heartbreak. She walked in with her sister—whom I mistook for her girlfriend—but fate worked its magic. She asked my friend about me, then we danced, held hands, and I knew. That night, she told her sister I’d be her wife. From fake IDs to forever love—we’ve grown, healed, and are still falling deeper every day.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Our favorite memory is our wedding and honeymoon. Surrounded by 125 loved ones, we celebrated the start of our forever. Instead of flying, we took a Greyhound to San Diego—budget-conscious and full of adventure. Exploring the Gaslamp District, museums, and new memories, we laughed, dreamed, and bonded deeply. It was our first vacation as a married couple, the beginning of building our legacy together.

What would you do with $20,000?

If we won the money we would use half to pay off some of our debts together I put it on my car and I'm sure she'd probably do the same and then the other half we'd go on a vacation we haven't been on a vacation in years we've been heads down working and grinding. probably invest in both our businesses as well. I am sharing the way to build a financial future for any community education on protection.
