Who Are Jessie & Ben

Jessie resides in Connecticut with her husband and two human children, 5 fur babies and various foster fur babies at different times. She is a self professed dork and "crazy cat lady". She prefers to have in depth conversations, sometimes of the philosophical and politi-religious directions, others about one of her other loves- food. Jessie is a member of Riverfront Family Church in Hartford CT.

Ben lives in Hartford, CT. He is part time co-lead pastor of Riverfront Family Church. His full time gig is as executive director of a non-profit in Hartford focused on fighting food insecurity and providing culinary job training for people with significant barriers to employment. He is also a trained chef. Always happiest while shring good conversation of food and beverage, Ben loves talking about theology, politics, food, culture and what it means to be fully human. He is "cat dad" and totally smitten with the kitten he recently adopted, named Mise En Place. He also has 8 nieces and nephews and is pretty smitten with them as well.
