Baby I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you Baby I'm amazed at the the way you fool me all the time You hung me on a line Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you

Leslie grew up in Chapel Hill, NC, and earned a Bachelor’s degree in German from Georgetown University in 1991. The following year, she moved to New York City to pursue a Master’s in Journalism at NYU. After working as a marketing communications writer for several Wall Street firms, she decided to take a leap of faith and pursue her creative passion. In 1999, Leslie launched a national quarterly devoted to the revival of retro style called ATOMIC Magazine, which she headed as Editor and Co-publisher until moving to the Dallas Metroplex in September 2003. Today, she oversees recruiting and sales training for Covenant Coverage, an insurance agency she helped launch in 2006 with her husband, Craig, which provides life insurance and retirement planning solutions for clients nationwide. Leslie also continues to work as a freelance journalist and marketing writer and is a frequent contributor to Horsesmouth.com.

Craig grew up in San Angelo, TX, and has lived in and around Dallas since age 9. After high school, Craig joined the Navy and was eventually stationed in Japan. While overseas, he learned to speak Japanese and was recruited into sumo wrestling. After more than three years on the circuit, Craig eventually toppled the scales at 400 pounds, which led him to undergo gastro-intestinal bypass surgery. He lost nearly 200 pounds and has kept it off for more than seven years. This radical change helped motivate Craig to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a singer, and four years ago, he formed a 19-piece big band: Big T and the Bada-Bings. He has since performed around the nation and plays on a regular basis in Tokyo and London. In 2001, Craig sang during Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee and the following year was invited to play the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, FL. In 2003, the band's critically-acclaimed debut CD, 'Born to Be Wild,' was nominated by the Swing Awards for Album of the Year. Although the band still frequently plays large private events in the Dallas area, today, Craig devotes his energies to the growth of Covenant Coverage as the agency’s President and CEO.
