Where do you live, and why do you choose to live there? My permanent residence is in Fort Worth, Texas. It’s a small town with a big heart. I’ve lived there for years, and I’m well-known in the business community. But I am currently living in a town a couple of hours south of Fort Worth, Crescent Bluff. I’ve recently purchased a small home as a gift for my mom, and I am refurbishing it for her while she is visiting my sister in Australia. |

What is a quirk of your personality that people don't know? I hate to admit it, but I’ve become a closet romance novel reader. Don’t laugh! A wise women once told me men could learn a lot about the hearts and minds of women by reading romance novels. So…I decided to take her advice. |

Who chronicled your story, and why do you think he/she picked you? Carol James chronicled my story, and I think she chose me because she could do something most people can’t. She could see through my “I’ve got this all together” exterior to discover that I really don’t. She saw my need for redemption and knew where I had to go to find it. |

What obstacles did you overcome in order to reach your happily-ever-after? We’ve all made mistakes. Some worse than others. And one of the choices I made was so selfish, so unfeeling, that I believed I would never be able to overcome it – that I was beyond forgiveness. I had to realize nothing I had done could keep me from God’s love. While I was running away, He was pursuing me. |

|
Tell us about your special romantic interest. What makes them so special? Livy… I’ve never met anyone more loving or more trusting. Even though she’s faced loss and difficulties, she’s been able to rise above her circumstances. She’s the perfect example of someone allowing God to take the ashes of our lives and make them into something beautiful. (And it doesn’t hurt that she’s really easy on the eyes.) |

The first time you saw your special person, what did you think? Was it love at first sight or did they have to grow on you? I can honestly say it wasn't love at first sight, but it was certainly “intrigue at first sight.” When she approached me in the perfume store, her poise and friendliness blew me away. And she had no clue the amount of warmth and assurance she projected. I wanted to hire her right then. |
Thank you Carol
