When I started Fanboys Anonymous back in October 2012, the aspiring goal was to create a platform for myself, my friends and fellow geeks alike to share their opinions about movies, television, video games, comics and anything else under the "nerd" spectrum. I've long thought that this site has immense potential that we haven't tapped into even 1% of, and there's no telling if, when or how any of those dreams will be realized.
However, as much as I feel Fanboys Anonymous has the ability to grow in all sorts of ways, I never would have imagined it would be the catalyst for an even more important part of my life: my future wife.
To let everyone in on some things behind the curtain who weren't already aware over time, part of my recruitment for the team was to post on LinkedIn threads of different types asking if anyone in these related fields would be interested in joining the site to write about whatever they're passionate about. One of those interested parties was Caroline, whom you've all heard on various podcasts and read articles from over the years.
Immediately, this connection was formed that was unlike any other and it grew into something much more beautiful than could ever be dreamed.
All these years later, I can now officially announce that as of this past Sunday, September 6, 2020, Caroline and I are ENGAGED.
Legit, true, 100% real engaged to be husband and wife. This is no advertisement ploy, marketing scheme, fan fiction gotcha or anything of the sort. This is real, and we couldn't be happier to let the readers know about this and share some of our happiness!
I want to thank everyone who has ever helped support Fanboys Anonymous over the years, in any fashion, for giving us this platform. Without this brand leading us to each other, there's no telling if we would have ever met at all, let alone fallen in love and taken the journey we've had to this point and heading into the future.
No matter what is going on with this site and the world around us, Fanboys Anonymous will never cease to be its own special corner of A Mango Tree. THANK YOU!
