Some life updates from August to now:

- I never really did an “end of DCI” post because I honestly just forgot, but I really miss my homies from Spirit 26. It was definitely one of my favorite seasons I’ve marched, and making finals was pretty sick. (Thank you Dom for being a W roommate and seat partner 🫶)

- Shoutout to Mack and Hunter, two of my now out-of-state friends who I miss a lot. I love you guys 🫶

- Got to travel to Jacksonville on a random weekend with a homie to see some homies.

- Flew into Maryland, hung out in Virginia, then flew into San Juan, Puerto Rico, then flew home (all within 72 hours). Puerto Rico was pretty fire and I will be going back. (Thank you Justin for being a W travel buddy 🫶)

- Got to go to Halloween Horror Nights with my beautiful girlfriend ❤️ 

- Learned that I’m pretty good at racing, but not better than Benji :/ (I love you king 🫶)

- I still go bowling on most Tuesdays and line-dancing every Thursday with the homies. These activities really help to keep me grounded through my crazy life 🔥

- Got to hang out with my family at a UCF game and for my sister’s birthday.

- Had a Disney day from like 8am to 11pm with some homies. We got through Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT within that time (Guardians was incredible 🔥🔥🔥)

First thing that comes to mind is thankful. Thankful for these incredible experiences that make life super fun and interesting. Thankful for all the wonderful people in my life who bring me so much love and joy; the people who give these experiences meaning.

I love you guys, thank you for the journey 🫶

I didn’t really know if I was going to write this. I wanted to wait till it hit me that it was really over. That every 4 hour drive, every late night at FIU and every sunset locking up the truck for the weekend was over. It feels surreal that something that became such a large part of my life for the past 6 months is complete. When I started my time at Stryke, I felt a lot of frustration and anxiety. I was going far from home, leaving a lot of friends and felt like I didn’t belong. Every weekend I went in looking forward to driving home, but the family at Stryke welcomed me and made me realized I had a second home 200 miles south. Every weekend I was met with love and support from the staff and the members and I couldn’t be more thankful. I made a million mistakes and I was always forgiven and supported by every single person there and I still can’t believe how blessed I am to have called Stryke home for the 2026 season. I want to give a special thank you Gio, Ben, Reggie, David, Val and Hailey. You all came every weekend and poured your everything into me and the rest of the membership and have made a lasting impact that will last a lifetime 
To Surya and Jacob. Thank you for every phone call, text message, conversation and FaceTime. Thank you for becoming the two older brothers I needed and for guiding me to become the version of myself, not that I wanted be, but that I needed to be.
To Connor and Hebert. This season was for the both of you, if you both hadn’t picked up the phone that night, I wouldn’t have been marching. I would have aged myself out. You both convinced me to go to Miami and it was the best decision I could have made. Every run was dedicated to the both of you. I hope I made you guys proud.
This season was the hardest season of my life, emotionally and mentally I was loosing it. But Stryke kept me grounded through it all. I’ll never forget this season and hope to make many more like it. I will keep these memories close to my heart and never let go.
