You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
We met as young adults with a shared passion for service. Over 24 years, we’ve built a life of purpose—raising three kids, leading in nonprofits, and loving each other through every season. Our story is one of faith, laughter, and choosing each other daily. It’s not flashy—it’s real, rooted, and still growing.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Some of our favorite memories are family trips to Disney and NYC when our kids were little—watching their eyes light up at the Magic Kingdom or seeing the city skyline for the first time. Those moments reminded us of how beautiful wonder can be, especially when experienced together as a family. They weren’t just vacations; they were love-filled chapters in our journey as partners and parents.
What would you do with $20,000?We’d give it all away. $10K to Star Gospel Mission, where lives are transformed daily through housing, recovery, and hope. $5K to The Salvation Army, whose legacy of service helped shape us. And $5K to Children’s Tumor Foundation, because we kNowaFighter. These gifts reflect our shared passion: building a world where everyone is seen, valued, and given a chance to thrive.
