Meant to Bee
We are a husband-and-wife team with a shared passion for marketing and communications. Together, we bring more than 40 years of collective experience across industries including education, finance, corporate, B2B, nonprofit, quasi-governmental, and the public sector. Our journey into the world of marketing was not a straight path — but it has been one filled with purpose, learning, and creativity.
While we haven’t known each other forever, when we finally met, we knew it was Meant to Bee. Our nicknames were both “bee,” we both grew up in the same part of town, our fathers where both Army, we had mutual friends, and we attended the same university. However, we had never met before. When we finally did, we were buzzing with excitement. Our love for marketing and communications brought us together in sweet harmony.
