Meet your Host
I’m your host, Hoyt Prisock. I’m an Atlanta based serial technology entrepreneur. 19 years ago I created an online speed dating platform that successfully launched as a Match.com service. I’ve been fascinated by online dating ever since.
At age 59 I found myself divorced after 27 years of marriage. My efforts to demystify online dating for myself, and my innate curiosity and love of people led me to believe we can learn so much about ourselves by understanding the experiences of others who are also walking our path. My passion for sharing these stories led me to create Behind the Swipe.
