How We Met

Late 2012

We were partnered as leads of a project together at Cardinal Health in late 2012. Mike was responsible for managing the project to ensure it delivered what was expected, stayed on time and on budget. Heather was the IT Solution Owner responsible for ensuring the right technological solution was deployed and appropriate resources were provided. We became fast friends learning we grew up a suburb or so away from each other and had similar music tastes. Despite a great deal of obstacles implementing a new technology and conflicting interests at times, we delivered the project together working through whatever conflicts arose...not crossing paths again for years!

Romance Sparks

In Fall 2017, a coworker asked Heather to contact Mike to verify that he was THE Mike Hoban in an infamous “Million Dollar Shot” video from the 1990s. Upon contacting him online through instant message at work he confirmed it was and offered to fill her in on the story sometime. Heather tried to catch him at work several times to no avail. It wasn’t until she saw his online dating profile in November that she learned he was single. Heather contacted him almost immediately via email and scolded him for not sharing the information! They quickly made plans to meet up in Cleveland when they both happened to be there with friends at the end of December...but ended up chatting and texting nearly nonstop from that day forward...prompting them both to rearrange schedules to meet up in early December. The rest, as they say, is history....
