Almost a month after the bombing at the Boston Marathon we are still trying to make sense of the tragedy. How could 2 men commit such a horrific act—killing men, women and children and injuring hundreds? We will probably never be able to understand those people, but what we do know is how proud we are of the people of Boston- the first responders, law enforcement the surgeons, the families, the runners—all who acted quickly and with resolve to help their fellow Americans.

The Friday after the bombing, Paige and I were trying to put things out of our minds for a few hours while we were preparing for a night that we had been waiting for almost a year—the airing of our episode on ABC’s Shark Tank. We were in NYC at the Dream hotel, hosting a viewing party with our closest friends, family, business partners, and press. Five minutes before the episode was scheduled to start, Paige and I looked at each other and held up 5 fingers. But at 2 minutes, we realized that the news would preempt our debut on Shark Tank. Our brave law enforcement tracked down and captured the bastard terrorist just 15 minutes before. We couldn’t be more disappointed that we wouldn’t have our day in the spotlight (at least not then) but we also couldn’t have been happier that we caught the terrorist. As veterans, we’ve seen one too many friends injured and killed by Terrorists. We served our country to protect us against this! This hiccup wasn’t going to get the best of us.

After a few nail biting days, Paige and I received the news from ABC, that our episode would air as part of the 2 hour Season Finale Episode on May 17th starting at 8pm EST. The end –result couldn’t have been better. We truly believe that things happen for a reason! In this case, it looks like things went our way!

Look for us on the Shark Tank Season Finale Friday, May 17th at 8PM EST ☺ We can’t wait! Be sure to mention us on twitter using #svSharkTank
