44.

Started my birthday at 3 a.m. with a wide-awake three-year-old who apparently decided two hours with Dad was the perfect gift. Holt was all smiles, long hair everywhere. I had some reservations about the hour.

But that's something I've learned this year. I can think about how tired I'll be tomorrow, or realize I get to have this moment with a boy who won't be little for long.

I've spent much of my life thinking about what I have to do. Lately, it's more about what I get to do.

Our boys are now three and five. Holt is fiercely independent, and Hugo is becoming my little buddy, building Legos and helping me fix things. They take an eternity to put on their shoes, yet entire years disappear in the blink of an eye.

Christine continues to be the heartbeat of this whole operation. An incredible mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend. Through all the chaos, we just keep growing closer. There's nobody else I'd rather share this adventure with.

The biggest change this year has been internal.

After years of chronic pain, understanding the connection between my mind, nervous system, and body changed my life. It forced me to confront old fears and patterns I'd carried for decades.

I used to push through everything. Now I'm learning to flow through it.

That journey inspired my friend Marshall and me to build Relief Project, hoping to help others find their own way forward.

My ambition hasn't disappeared. If anything, it's grown. The scoreboard has just changed. Less about what I can get out of life and more about what I can put into it.

Ten years from now, my boys will be 15 and 13. I can't wait to meet those versions of them. But I'd give anything to keep these next ten years from moving too quickly.

Because sometimes the best moments are when absolutely nothing is happening. Building Legos. Reading bedtime stories. Little arms wrapped around you.

Sometimes you're exhausted and just want to get through it. Other times you catch yourself thinking, Are you kidding me? I get to do this.

Life is beautifully, wonderfully, terribly amazing.

And I can't wait to see what happens next.

2025 was a year of both highs and deep valleys. But above everything else, what I am most grateful for are the relationships that continue to anchor me. The people who have walked beside me, sometimes quietly, sometimes loudly… have been my constant source of strength. When I felt like I couldn’t take another step, my friends lifted me up, reminded me who I am, and made me laugh when I needed it most. Those moments are priceless, and I hold them close.

Every trip back to Austin feels like a reset for my soul. I often joke that I go back to refill my IV bag with love ❤️ so I can return to Los Angeles grounded, focused, and ready to keep going. But what has surprised me most is how deeply rooted my community in Los Angeles has become too. Those relationships have grown in ways I don’t take for granted, and they continue to evolve with care, trust, and mutual support. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am profoundly thankful for the opportunities I was given this year—to direct projects that challenged me, inspired me, and reminded me why I chose this path in the first place. Collaborating with such talented, generous crews has been an absolute gift. Being trusted to lead and tell stories is something I never take lightly; it is a dream I get to live out, project by project.

To everyone who hired me, believed in me, and invested in my work🙏thank you. Your support doesn’t just fund projects; it sustains my ability to keep dreaming, creating, and moving forward. I step into 2026 with deep gratitude, open hands, and hope for many more stories to tell together. ❤️

Can you believe we’re already halfway through 2025? It’s been a total whirlwind…one of those years where everything feels like a blur and yet, somehow, like it all happened forever ago. A recent trip to see my nieces and nephew gave me a rare pause to reflect, and wow… so much has already unfolded.

Truth is, I spend a lot of time focused on what I haven’t done yet. That feeling hits especially hard in a place like L.A., where the hustle never stops. But moments like this remind me just how much I already have, especially the people in my life who lift me up, show up, and make this wild ride worth it.

So here’s to soaking up the rest of 2025 with gratitude, clarity, and the amazing humans I get to call my circle. Let’s keep going.

Standout moments thus far (no particular order):
1. Celebrating my 40th in both Los Angeles and Austin (it was a month of 40) - my friend @iammailyne organizing an awesome getaway in Lake Arrowhead with some super cool friends.
2. Driving from a shoot in San Diego straight to El Paso (stop 1) then straight to a bar in Austin, where 15 friends showed up with less than 24 hours notice to celebrate my 40th in Austin
3. Getting surprised with a drag queen by @daran and @tineherrman
4. Celebrating in Austin with my Get Reelisms team @katpenna @crapapples @adamischase @rfader7
5. Directing @yokaitheseries in March (it feels like this was last year)
6. Producing/Directing a spec commercial in Los Angeles (first personal project since moving here)
7. 40th photo shoot with Candice Ghai @candiceghaiphotography @candice_bejarano_ghai @mayagandhimakeup (one of my favorite photographers)
8. Visiting my nephew and nieces in Cincinnati with my parents
9. Hosting two Scene Lab events with my friend Elizabeth @trieufio @wearegoodbuds for Get Reelisms
10. Going to Seattle via train to shoot one of my best friend’s 10th anniversary @sumzoid

🫶🏼One year ago, last night, my life changed forever🫶🏼 Surviving a widowmaker heart attack, along with my mom surviving breast cancer this year 🎀, is a reminder of how precious and fleeting life is. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the friends, family and co-workers who have been there in various ways throughout my recovery ❤️‍🩹

This video doesn’t capture everyone who supported me - in ways I’ll never forget. Some of the most profound moments didn’t come with photos—just quiet strength, heartfelt conversations, and love that words and pictures can’t fully express.

As you have seen through my posts, I’ve made it my mission to turn my survival into impact. By raising awareness and funds as a Leader of Impact for the @american_heart , and sharing my story, I hope to help others recognize the signs, prioritize their health, and cherish the people who make life worth living.

To everyone who has been part of this year—seen or unseen—thank you for your generosity, encouragement, and presence. You’ve shown me that even in the hardest moments, we are never truly alone.

Here’s to paying it forward, making every moment count, and living with a heart full of gratitude. #Bourne2Live ✨

Today, I’m 42 years old, sitting outside in Austin, Texas, watching the sun come up. There’s something about the quiet of the morning that pulls everything into focus. My life—its challenges, its joys, its subtle moments of beauty—feels like a finely woven fabric, the kind that tells a story if you look close enough.

My boys, Hugo and Holt, are growing fast. Too fast and too slow, if that makes any sense. Hugo, playing with his astronaut Halloween costume, preparing for his next mission, and Holt, crawling around, almost walking, eager to be part of everything his brother does. It’s not just a single moment; it’s every day. The chaos, the quiet, the way they make me excited for what they’ll become. It’s difficult, yes, but the kind of difficulty I wouldn’t trade for anything. Every challenge is a new chance to teach them how to think for themselves, how to solve problems, and most importantly, how to enjoy the process.

Then there’s my wife, Christine. She’s the kind of person who lights up every room, who makes entertaining feel effortless, who’s so good with people—our families, friends, everyone we invite into our space. I’ve always loved how much fun she is, how easy it is to be with her, and how we both want the same thing: a relationship that continues to grow. We’ve built something solid, but we’re both always looking for how we can make it stronger. She’s the laughter I think about before I fall asleep, and the person I want beside me in every room, in every situation.

Cheers to 42!

To the love of my life and the mother of our two incredible boys, you are the anchor of our family. Your love for our children is boundless, and you show it in every moment you spend with them. You’re not just a strong and successful woman, but a pillar of support and an endless source of love for both our families. I remember when we took our moms to Paris—your thoughtfulness ensured my mom felt as much a part of our adventures as anyone else.

You make our lives infinitely better, always standing by my side, helping me chase my dreams, and showing me every day what it means to be on the same team. You are, simply put, extraordinary @tineherrman.

Today marks the second revolution around the sun for Hugo George Herrman, a young explorer navigating the complexities of toddlerhood.

Hugo, you're a maverick in a world of toy cars and rubber balls. You've turned airports into playgrounds and delays into life lessons. Our hearts melt when you whisper "I love you" to your mother, and when you laugh your infectious laugh while playing with me.

I've had the privilege of being many things in my life, but being one of your guides on this wild, unpredictable adventure? That's the role of a lifetime. Cheers to being 2.

--
In the realm of toy cars and rubber balls,
A young explorer reigns, answering life's calls.
Hugo George Herrman, a name to remember,
A spirit ablaze, not a flicker but an ember.

He roams his 'school,' a kingdom of play,
Where every face is a friend, every moment a new day.
He's the mayor of the sandbox, the king of the slide,
In a world where joy is the only guide.

Airports and delays, yet he wears no frown,
A trooper in transit, he never lets us down.
He whispers "I love you Mommy" a phrase heard across the land,
A testament of love, simple yet so grand.

He's a giant among tots, a towering might,
Yet his heart is tender in the still of the night.
Books unfold worlds, as his eyes scan each line,
A nightly ritual, a sacred, cherished time.

With Dad, he wrestles, a dance of love and might,
With Mom, he's the gentle whisper that makes everything right.
He's a chef in the making, a cleaner in the wings,
A jack-of-all-trades, a master of toddler things.

So here's to Hugo, on two years around the sun,
A soul full of wonder, a life full of fun.
May he chase every ball, climb every peak,
And find all the treasures this world has to seek.
