Connect How did your love story begin?

Blair and I almost stayed home that night. I had a long, jam-packed workday, and she was emotionally drained and in a funk. Friends encouraged us, separately, to attend the same hospitality event. We met, and from the first moment it felt like our souls recognized each other. It wasn't coincidence—it was divine timing. That one yes changed everything. Today we're deeply in love, grateful every day that destiny brought us together when we needed each other most.Rooted in faith,never looking back.

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

Our most unforgettable adventure was a weekend in Baltimore for the Floetry concert, a city that shaped us both long before we met. Revisiting favorite places, exploring new ones, and sharing stories from our past made every moment deeply personal. The music, the memories, and the city wove our histories together, strengthening our bond and reminding us that love grows even deeper when you honor where you've both been while embracing where you're going together.

What would you do with $20,000?

As hospitality professionals and artists, Blair and I share a passion for food, culture, music, art, and serving others. We'd use the $20,000 to launch our creative journey, producing experiences, products, and content that bring people together, celebrate community, and give back. Our love is rooted in connection, and our dream is to turn that love into something that inspires and serves others.
