2025 was definitely a ride. I’d say like the last 15 years, full of insane highs, but also insane lows. When the year started, I almost lost my mom, and as the year came to an end, I almost lost my dad. In between, there were many things that were so hard to deal with that I don’t mention, as I’m sure so many of us don’t. But even in all the overbearing times, I still saw God do things that really speak to His deep and personal care for me. I was still able to play shows with @watashiwaband and meet some amazing guys in some really great bands, do a bit of traveling, meet Kiefer Sutherland right as I was starting to rewatch his show 24, and spend time with those dearest to me. Thanks to everyone who made this last year have great moments, who walked with me through the hard times, made me laugh during the great ones, and who stick with me through both. You are all so special to me, and looking back, these memories I have with the ones I love really stand out as the highlight of 2025, the greatest gift God gave me among many this year. May 2026 hold more blessings, favor, fun times and hangs, and may you all have the greatest year thus far ❤️ (so sorry if I don’t tag everyone haha) by @thefirstjamz

Every now and then I get to a show set that I get stumped on, this run was one. Not because the pics were terrible, but because it was one of the better weekends of my life and career and I felt these needed to be the absolute best work I’m capable of. These are dear friends of mine in a cool band called @watashiwaband shot at the insanely fun @observatorynorthpark @goldenvoice taken in The Observatory North Park by @thefirstjamz

2024. This past year was filled many highs and many lows. The highs felt pretty great, and the lows hit pretty low. The lows always seem to hit harder for me in general, but I’m so grateful for all the friendships, experiences, and blessings I was able to enjoy. Here’s to 2025 and all the things God has in store for it! 🥳🥳 by @thefirstjamz

My little guy turns 18 today 🥺😭😭 he’s the only sibling I can still remember bringing home from the hospital; I remember mom and dad giving him to me to hold while they turned in for the night, and lil baby Joel fell asleep in my arms 😭 he was/is the only sibling I feel almost like a dad to since we’re almost 14 years apart. I honestly can’t tell where the time went because it feels like he was just a kid a second ago and then he grew like a foot taller than me. I guess that’s how all parents feel about their kids eventually. But anyway, Happy Birthday Joel, Jolie, Juul, Jules Verne. Love you lil bud and can’t wait to see what’s in store for your life ❤️🥹 by @thefirstjamz

Super thankful for @j_lops43 and my parents for setting up this dope trip, finally got to see my favorite band @stillremains after like 16 years, the last time being in high school. So glad to be able to take in these songs again, they’re still just as sick as ever✊🏻 by @thefirstjamz

Happy 61st Birthday dad! Every year that passes I see more and more how much I am blessed to have you as a dad. You are patient, caring, and fun, but also strong and resilient. And each year you only ever grow in these qualities and more, and you still remain the coolest/weirdest person I’ve ever known. Love you pop! Here’s to 61 more 😘 by @thefirstjamz
