ABOUT US

 MEET TRISTIN & MICHAEL

So, we don't quite agree on all of the details about our first meeting but, we did know early on, this was something special; That didn't make it easy! We are a blended family with four kids. And what we have learned is life is unpredictable and challenging. We get it! We have not always been able to smile through it. We didn't always have the support of friends and family, sometimes our budget was tight, we had co-parenting challenges. We dealt with not being on the same page-not even wanting to be in the same house. But  we are still here.  The truth is, we wouldn't be without honest, transparent conversation and finding a support network when we needed it. We discovered, we got tired of "politically/religiously-correct" conversations. We needed it real.  So that's what we are here to do: Open the door to some real conversations. For real people with real goals, real faults and real love.We don't care what stage of the relationship you are in, we just want to connect! We have to get this right. Where real meets relationships. We are Fused!

  • When did you know they were "the one"?
    [Him] I knew it was something the moment I met her but it wasn't until she did something I wasn't expecting that I knew for sure. I remember I sent her something I wanted her to listen to and give me her feedback. I wasn't sure if she really would take it seriously or if she would just do it passively. But she listened to the whole thing and when she talked about it she was insightful and thoughtful. It mattered to her. It confirmed that feeling I had before. I couldn't stop thinking about her. She was beauty, and we just fit. After our first real date, I knew she was it.
  • What was the first thing you noticed about your spouse?
    [Her] The first substantial thing I remember about him was he was witty and chivalrous. We met in the airport and I remember us conversing with such ease and him sharing clever jokes while helping me carry my bag, walking me to my car and attempting to protect me from traffic. I thought, "Oh my gosh! this guy is great. He could totally be serial killer on a Lifetime movie" ​
  • What is the best advice you have received?
    [Him] The best advice I received is from my father, and he told me 2 key things that I will never forget. The first being, 'A good name is better then silver and gold'. The other advice that he gave me, was, I should pray for wisdom before I pray for anything else. Because whatever I am seeking I could mishandling without the proper wisdom.
  • Why did you start Fused?
    [Her] We saw a need for honest, open and transparent dialogue for marriage, family and relationships. We saw a need for encouragement for Blended Families and resources for struggling marriages, support for men and empowerment for women. We saw a need for "real" to be more than a catch phrase. We could not let our experiences and perspectives be lost to no benefit of others. We wanted to be intentional about reaching people where they are. We want to be a reliable voice for those in any stage of marriage, family and relationship. And so we started Fused. ​
  • What makes Fused different?
    [Him] Fused is different because we are regular people, with a regular family, that have embarked on journey to provide real, relevant, and refreshing information to help families stay together and grow beyond their current reality.
