According to Country Living, Lori and Dan Greiner first met at a local sports bar in Chicago while Lori was a student at Loyola University. (She majored in communications.) They dated and reportedly got married soon after her graduation, although some reports claim they wed in 2010. In her 2014 book, “Invent it, Sell it, Bank it!: Make Your Million-Dollar Idea Into a Reality,” when the “Shark Tank” star first told Dan about her idea of making an earring organizer, Lori said her husband was immediately sold on the concept. “He’s cautious — not at all the type to push the envelope. And yet, in this instance he was on board from the minute I told him about my idea,” she wrote.

Dan continued to be supportive even as Lori took out a huge loan against their house to kickstart her business. And when her business began to take off, Dan eventually quit his job at a manufacturing company to join her own, For Your Ease Only, as its vice president and chief financial officer. “I thought, ‘This is going to be big,'” Dan told Crain’s Chicago Business newspaper in 2009 (via Closer Weekly). The couple reportedly works together in an office in Chicago, where they even share a desk. In her book, Lori said she and her husband make ideal business partners. “Dan is a numbers guy; I’m the inventor. That’s why we’re a perfect team,” she said.
