How did your love story begin?

I (niel) was invited by my roommate to go see a play at his former HS. We went backstage and I met most of the crew. We were invited to a celebration dinner with the crew. One of them was an awkward beautiful woman with hypnotic eyes that I fell for. Our collective awkwardness was a perfect match.

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

With more than 26 years together we have so many wonderful moments. Being there for the birth of my children was amazing. However I think my favorite memories are where I get to see her be herself. Be it punch drunk singing karaoke, twirling fire at a burlesque show, or pole dancing. I have always supported her creativity and endeavors.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would catch up with our back property tax we inherited from her mother's house and invest in a food truck to bring halal TX BBQ to the Muslim community here. I worked my ass off to make a 250 gallon smoker so I could make my wife a newish reverted Muslim her BBQ and try to expand it into a business. The next phase has proved to be the most costly.
