Our Guests
Since meeting in 2004 Matthew and Jamie have had their share of up and downs, which you could say is normal for any couple. However, when they met, Matthew was already married… to his business. When starting his first business in 1994, Matthew never expected to be married to anything other than work. On the other hand, Jamie fought to be considered Number 1 in Matt’s life; having to fight his way through Matt’s financial troubles, late nights of work, and competing against the affections of his cat.
Once they set their mind on a goal, each one fiercely strives to achieve it. When Jamie set out to move to France for work and graduate school, Matthew did whatever it took to divorce his old work ethic and business model and transformed it into something, not only more flexible, but more profitable. They continue to support each other’s life goals and decisions, even though it keeps them separated by 4000 miles for half the year. Their personal attitude has always been that love is love, and every couple goes through the same types of relationship ups and downs. They were finally married in 2014 once equal marriage rights were available for same-sex couples and they are proud to share their story because, no matter who you are, being married to an entrepreneur always involves a bit of mayhem.
Jamie is currently working on his doctorate degree at the University of Bordeaux while also working as an English professor and a tour guide. Matthew is an internet marketing consultant and Profit First Professional Coach.
