We met during the 2011 Western Area Links Conference in Scottsdale, AZ. In my capacity as Conference Planner, we always seek to engage African-American owned businesses in the local area. My girlfriend, TC, the conference vendor chair, identified and secured the security company, Gray's Security. Upon meeting Ben on the day of move in, we had an instant and undeniable connection. Over the next two year period, we stayed in touch with each other. In 2013, Ben flew in to play in a golf tournament that I chaired. In 2016, he surprised me during a trip to Houston; we went to dinner, talked for hours, and the rest is history! The moral to the story, never give up on finding love, you never know what God has in store for you until you receive His blessings!
