Bud Patterson
Vice President of A Foreign Affair
"It's amazing how answering one little ad in the newspaper 10 years ago has changed my life so dramatically," says Bud Patterson, Vice President of Domestic Operations. Bud first joined AFA in late 2001 just one month before embarking on his first romance tour to St. Petersburg, Russia. "I had no idea what to think of all this but I always wanted to visit Russia and AFA provided me the opportunity to realize that dream. Little did I know how I would meet my future wife at the first social of the first romance tour I ever did!" Indeed, Bud met his Victoria while standing outside the social venue. "She passed by and said 'Hello,' first. I said 'Hello' back and she shyly looked away. And I thought, 'Wow, that's so cute - a lovely girl who'se also shy." So Bud went back inside to talk more to her - and the rest is history! For the next 3 years Bud would successfully coach hundreds of men through the international introduction process. Says Bud, "I literally said to John, as I departed
for Russia the first time, 'Just for the record, I have no interest in meeting anyone, I just want to see Russia. And that lasted all of 24 hours before I met Victoria!"
