36.

Today I spent a lot of time reflecting on this past year, and I can honestly say it’s been one of the most meaningful years of my life.

A year ago, I was on a path of self-destruction. I was overworking, constantly putting everyone else’s needs before my own, partying, drinking, and distracting myself with things that pulled my focus away from what truly mattered. Through it all, I lost sight of the most important thing in my life and that's being present for the people I love.

Choosing sobriety has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It gave me clarity, purpose, and the opportunity to grow into a better man.

This past year, I got engaged to my beautiful fiancée, stepped into the role of General Manager, where I have the privilege of helping others grow and succeed, and most importantly, I’ve made my family a priority. Those are the moments that bring me the most joy, and I’ll never take them for granted.

Thank you to each and every one of you for the birthday wishes, the love, and the support. I feel incredibly blessed to celebrate another year of life and can’t wait to see what 36 has in store.

Today my Uncle Milo gained his wings and I know you will be forever missed by the family.
