In January 2026, millions of koozies were forced to endure Dry January.
Forced to hold non-alcoholic beer.
Forced to sit in silence.
Forced to question their purpose.
But February is different.
Welcome to Freedom February ā where we restore dignity, one real beer at a time.
This isnāt just about beer.
Itās about BBQ season. Backyard grilling. Ice-cold cans. Real moments. Real flavor.
Open a beer.
Save a koozie.
Restore balance. š»
Comment āFREEDOMā if youāre participating.
Tag someone who owes a koozie an apology.

A month without socials has been⦠š
the most bliss Iāve experienced in years.
They say it takes 21 days to make a habit, and now here I am:
- Taking action
- Being present
- Breaking patterns
- Being kind to myself
- Opening to community
- Opening to vulnerability
More playful, more curious, more creative, more energy, more zest, more movement, more LIFE, baby!!! ššš
This month I ran away to high deserts, went bowling and skijoring, said yes to random last-minute shows, watched movies, read books, soaked in hot springs, walked barefoot on sun-drenched concrete back roads, made risotto, and laughed so hard it hurt with people I didnāt yet know.
This month I restored hope. I watered the ground beneath my feet - offering a safe space for people right in front of me. I didnāt consume news, but I still heard. And because I was resourced, I felt empowered to call my representatives. Itās goofy but something: I designed and ordered stickers that say F*Kš§ - whose proceeds will go to help families affected by this gnarly, dystopian administration. The good is here, with each other. We have to remember that.
This month I was inspired. To be well. To want to unf*ck my brain. To create a group trip (!!!) to dig into my creative efforts and supplement the lack-of-money coming from my two jobs, due to greedy billionaires. (Hi Chuck!) @tellurideski

And this month I AHHHHHHH!!! REOPENED MYSELF THE IDEA OF LOVE!!!! I canāt put this into words here. Iām still figuring it out myself. Terrifying, feeling safe enough to consider accepting that you actually arenāt just a big bad wolf but maybe also a sweet, sweet softie. And that thatās okay.
Terrifying⦠but worth it I think.
I was nervous to delete the app. So much of me was on it. I wasnāt sure who Iād be without.
5th-grade me. Thatās who I met without the noise.
Doing things just to do them. Dancing and making people smile. FEELING everything - wow, so much more feeling when you arenāt blasting your eyeballs and brain with this stuff everyday.
Iāve reset my habit, soI wonāt be on here much.
Iāll be sharing, and checking inā¦
But thereās living to do š
February 2026; Easily one of the wildest months in recent memory. āWork hard, play hardā easily sums it all up. āDonāt cheat yourself, treat yourselfā adds in that extra flavor. Which is exactly what I did with the surf & turf meal I made. I also completed six months of sobriety just for the hell of it. I have been on the grind 24/7 and itās amazing to see it all paying off, participating in back to back art shows, creating a new collection for Amoroso, finalizing an upcoming album, skating a ton, and growing significantly in my professional career. I also got to enjoy several concerts, comedy shows, skate trips, and so much more. Letās get this money! One love yāall!š¹š¤āØ

Skiing was WAYYY cooler than I made it look lol š
Enjoy my very awkward moments in between the ācool shitā and finishing Dry January with a NA IPA from Deschutea Brewery.
Moment of truth, the las time I hit the slopes was close to 6 years ago and I got completely š and tried a route that I could have really hurt myself on.
One of the reason Iāve chosen to be sober is decision making. I want to always be in the the head space to make decisions that represent me at my best.
And im not gunna lie, that liquid blanket was missed dearly today, but instead I took breaks, stayed hydrated and taped out when it felt right.
Im so proud of myself today!

The adult beverage industry has been a big part of my life for more than 20 years.
Itās been a lot of miles on the road, early mornings, long days, tastings, resets, events, display builds, and plenty of stories along the way. But more than anything, itās been about the people. Iāve been lucky to meet and work with some incredible folks over the years, and those friendships are what Iāll always appreciate the most.
Over the next couple of weeks Iāll be transitioning into a new chapter outside of the adult beverage space. Iām excited for whatās ahead and the new adventures that come with it.
(I will announce whatās next soon)
But no matter where the road goes next, this industry and the people in it will always have a place in my heart.
Hereās to the next adventure. #whataride #nextadventure #theclimb #life
