<p>Matchmaker May talks to Trenia Norford of Connectricity, a personalized matchmaking service. They just go back to the basics of finding love before apps and phones. Trenia also is helping an amazing gentleman find love. He's seeking an Asian woman. Could that be you?</p><p>Hi. I’m Trenia NorfordFor as long as I can remember, I’ve been in love with love. From my first college internship with talk shows to my career as a professional matchmaker, helping people find their own way to happiness has always been my passion.You can find out more about me in a recent article on DatingAdvice.com. In 2009, I married my best friend of ten years, Brad–the only man who ever got me to move to a new city for him. I believe everyone has a spark–that special something that makes them not only different from everyone else, but infinitely valuable to other people who need exactly that kind of spark in their lives.Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, I began my career in publishing in 1996, serving as a production manager with magazines like Fortune and Women’s Wear Daily. Later, I moved into marketing and sales and came up through the ranks of the banking industry, becoming a marketing manager and vice president with Chase in Columbus, Ohio.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbUtDS3ZLYTFhQ1R0NlZzUk5sM1hocmtYN09OQXxBQ3Jtc0trVzBUM3gxQU1pUjNIeWxoSF9JQnQta3pTRzl2RzVkNEVSXzJydXBLVmhKa1NkLWtfVHpOQTdzTFFwdkZFRy1SMDNBeUU0b2FiQjJrd2NDMkpXT0tzb2RGV3VBZzRaT0U5TlZuU0xrSnJKWms0cFFoVQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fconnectricitymatch.com%2F&v=CEk6R0Ii6s4" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://connectricitymatch.com/</a>[email protected] <strong>AMAZON BEST SELLER</strong> Get my book, ‘A Roadmap For Single Asian Women’ here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbExnUUN0RnU0ZW1sZWJ5RXJrWEQ3dGx2ZS1Yd3xBQ3Jtc0tsMUREV2NnRDNKcldUZnpZc0k3NE9iTTdhRmRwcU1OTFY0VHlpN21LTkVxMm94blE4OEVFdGRjb1RBa0tIdEo4R281YWJMUnQ4X3UyeFR4OXNtbS0ya2NTUWxCYml6Y29SRnpidUNySzlqT3hpandmUQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0C9L4CT87%3Fref_%3Dcm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_FKWJGPCVXW3XG8D98EWB&v=CEk6R0Ii6s4" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9L4CT87?...</a> Call May for help: (310) 867-0851Join The Best Asian Matchmaker’s Database Here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbnVhdkxSbUNGTnZqRzFVaUIxZ3c4NjhuWnowZ3xBQ3Jtc0ttaGJqNVl4eW1fcFpxN0JYU09mMHFHa0hvZ0VlMTN0am5NOEg0RlJkUjJ6NzRGYk91ZEFaU1dfUUpQMDhHVl9RS1lVTUZDbWxXdkpQYk53TjJ0TlExZFQ0OG9XVFNCb0o5ejZFb2lBODZlZmQ5V1NCOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.twoasianmatchmakers.com%2Fprofile&v=CEk6R0Ii6s4" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.twoasianmatchmakers.com/p...</a>Email: [email protected]: www.twoasianmatchmakers.comFacebook Page: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbFVrNGZfSmxLbHlxczI4czFMTUV0MjVlYnRNQXxBQ3Jtc0trWjNGNkJvb1ZXVjdnU042V0ltMDVncFB5VzFpWnp5VVB6LUJ0bzNSNml2MXlTWFVCNHlEUkRPXzlVMHhTb1dSNlF3dFBJVktnYWc4ZFJZY3AzY1BhT2pSVVpZM1VCODFzUUFjN1l2YVVlTmxscTFLUQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FTwoAsianMatchmakers&v=CEk6R0Ii6s4" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> / twoasianmatchmakers </a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbnEzQWJKcDJ4Q1ZUSnRJbkdfM3ByZExpNEQ0Z3xBQ3Jtc0ttZ1R4RzRMeGdBR3V6cEN2R0dwVXh4YWpsWmg2NUNXTjBJaXk4NG9qWHltdmEzRHlkYkZCY2RwUGgxQ1RvQURxVWgwbEFZZVNudHB3ZmFad1dyR0ptcmQwajBPM3BkWTI5RlJnX1ZEMmRfSmNSWXBicw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fmatchmakermay&v=CEk6R0Ii6s4" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> / matchmakermay </a>Asian friends can set each other up: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbUlnV1ExeXJDTzFtc2xDWmVqWHZKRkxWeGg1d3xBQ3Jtc0ttQWRraDJlcHBRTEp0Z0tYZU9UelFoNXcya2NPQkQ3QldPU2pvM1ExTjhfSjlHOWN2LUFxWTUtMHM5bUNEam1DcEg5UFlnTHNqSDEwVDFDVzJWMGVpcHZNSC1fTjdNUG5xZmdJeVoySEw0a2xCUGRqRQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroups%2Fdatethemasians&v=CEk6R0Ii6s4" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> / datethemasians </a>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/twoasianmatchmakers" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> / twoasianmatchmakers </a>Tiktok: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa1JMMHM0aXc0bGxjLWhMQ2p2aDdtbldmbGlMd3xBQ3Jtc0tscG41QTRCeWI2eUcyVklGYWJZWmF6VnhJZllSSkZCNTBjRzNFQnAxcnlNWHpkUU1iRW9ieUh4QktMcVJzSHo0SGVsU3lUV1BRWUgtMVRTSm43clFZVm4zdEhfNHkycHQ1dGhkTzhIM1MtRTJFY1Bibw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiktok.com%2F%40asianmatchmaker88&v=CEk6R0Ii6s4" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> / asianmatchmaker88 </a>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa0pjRWxrZjBCS1hzTHRsSnNiUFZJZ3lfWFF4Z3xBQ3Jtc0tsMTZpM2VIbDhMbGUtTXpQRXpERVBRM1ZlYlo2VjNURkZicEdGakNGMVZpVGJwRVNPb25KTUdZVXlqVlp6UGNvM08yY0ZqQVNBdHhMZlllRWdOUTZXSXZJR1NjcXV6dzR5ak9hM3V1SkZ1UnhXZWVGdw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fmayhui%2F&v=CEk6R0Ii6s4" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> / mayhui </a>ABOUT THIS PODCAST: THE ASIAN DATING PODCASTWhat does Matchmaker May Do?You know how there are men out there that are high net worth, super successful, and accomplished in their fields but they are too busy to date and value time more than money?
