How did your love story begin?

Ashley and I were both enrolled in college at Arkansas State University. Ashley started out as a pre-pharmacist major who turned to nursing school as a result of peer pressure from one of her friends who wanted a friend to attend school with. By chance, I had returned to college to pursue a new career option in the world of healthcare. We met by happen-stance as co-members of a study group. We kept our relationship on the DL and never even divulged that we were dating until we eloped our sr year

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

My favorite memories of being with Ashley all revolve around doing the simplest of things together. Doing yard work, multi-mile road trips for ice cream, or sitting on a boat in the middle of a lake.

What would you do with $20,000?

Ashley has always wanted to travel to Hawaii and we have not made the voyage. We are 20 years into our marriage and I would love to make that happen for her. She is the backbone of our family and she deserves the moon and stars. She has sacrificed so much to care for our daughter and our disabled son who we lost several years ago. I would love to make this happen for her.
