Jacqui Pitman and I have been friends for about 30 years. We have been through it all. We met when I was on the reality show STUDS and the Executive Producer Howard Schultz (her mentor) asked me to work on the show after my episode. I accepted and ended up working under Jacqui. Jacqui is a resilient, big hearted, strong, sexy, hell of a woman. From the moment we met, I knew she'd be a tough one to win over, but I knew I wanted to invest the time. Boy was it worth it.
