Billy has always had a passion for setting goals and dreaming big. Before he could even write his name, Billy went through his first goal setting program and created a dream list. That dream list grew when he quietly added “meet the woman of my dreams” at 12 years old. Over a decade later, that dream came true when Billy crashed a happy hour among coworkers and met Ashley.
Becoming Bashley
One month after meeting, we went on our first date. Five months of dating passed before we got engaged. One year later, we became Mr. & Mrs. or as many would come to call us... Bashley. Think: Brangelina, Bennifer, and Jelena ...except none of them are together anymore. We may have moved quickly in our relationship, but we knew we were greater than the sum of our parts.
We are at our best when we collaborate. We have separate careers, but bring each other in to the work we do. We set goals together and check on our progress every vacation we take (...and we take a lot). We create community programs & events and reel each other into our philanthropic commitments.
I Do, We Do
You may think we are two peas in a pod, but we couldn't be more opposite. He says “yous,” she says “yall.” We could fill pages and pages of a book with our differences... or a podcast.
We don’t believe that opposites attract. However, we do believe that embracing our differences empowers us to become a killer team of two. The more we work together, the more we understand that when we said, "I Do”... we really said, "We Do."
