Ben started working at Anheuser-Busch after college in 2013 in a rotational program and 3 years later, Lauren started in the same program. During Lauren's last rotation, she was placed on Ben's team in New York City. He fell in love with her care-free attitude towards her constant bloody noses and she fell for his man bun (just kidding, actually in how supportive he was!). Four short months after meeting, Lauren moved into Ben's studio apartment on Wall Street until they found a cute one bedroom in West Village to move into together.

After one year of NYC life as a couple, Ben and Lauren decided to uproot and move to California to start MOOD FOOD - a cannabis chocolate edibles (learn more at eatmoodfood.com). They moved into a little house in Manhattan Beach where they live now.
