Dee Gilmer

Hello, I am Dee! Over the years, I have been all over the world, and worked on many projects, including several business ventures. I started up a cleaning business from nothing, and I also owned a record label and a non-profit church (which still has many members), along with many other businesses.

When I was a child, I found a friendship like no other, with a boy named Buddy. He was like a brother that I always dreamed of having. We connected on multiple levels, and related about seemingly any topic that could come up. The type of friendship we shared felt like it occurred only once in a person’s lifetime. Although I was married to my wife Cathy 4 years before Buddy got married, we still talked daily and whenever we were with his parents, they also treated my wife like they have always treated me, like family. So, when my friend Buddy passed away at a young age, it felt like a part of me died with him. Without Buddy, I truly felt what it was like to be lonely, which ultimately sparked this idea of bringing people together.
