Shon and John were introduced by a mutual friend in 1998. The foundation of their
relationship started out as business. John was in the real estate finance business
and Shon was a real estate appraiser and construction contractor. Shon and John
spent many hours developing business ideas and projects that eventually led to a
profitable business relationship. However, the most important development was
Shon and John’s friendship that inevitably arose over the years that they worked
together.
Shon and John became not only business partners on various business projects but
they also became best friends through the years. It was during a Christmas ski trip
to Vail, Colorado in 2015 that they both decided to take their friendship to a more
intimate level. They dated for several months then decided to become engaged in
May 2016.
Currently, Shon and John are the owners of IFWAA (Injured Federal Workers
Advocate Association) and Phil and Derek’s Jazz Lounge in Houston, TX. They enjoy
traveling the world, great parties, and spending time with their friends and
families.
