Another trip around the sun.

I don’t know why that saying always sticks with me. Maybe it’s overused or played out, but it still feels right. It’s been another year of living life.

This birthday marks the second one without my dad. That hasn’t been easy. Some days it still catches me off guard, that feeling of him being gone. But I carry him with me in a lot of ways.

Looking back on the last ten years, so much has changed. I became a father. My daughter and her mom have taught me more than they probably know. Life has been a mix of everything — job changes, a global pandemic, ups and downs, lessons learned the hard way.

But I’m still here. I’m still learning. Still moving forward.

This last year in particular has challenged me. But it also pushed me to stop waiting. I started doing more for myself, finally chasing the things I’ve always wanted. I stopped holding back. I knew if I didn’t start now, I might never do it.

So here I am. A little older, hopefully a little wiser. Still figuring things out. But I’m proud of how far I’ve come.

And I’m excited for what’s ahead.

This next year, I want to pour even more into the things that matter. Finishing school is high on that list. I’ve worked hard to get this far, and I’m ready to close that chapter strong. I’ve got goals, and they feel more real now than ever before.

One of the biggest things I’m building is Unfold. It’s not just an app — it’s one of the most meaningful projects I’ve ever worked on. Something that comes from the heart. I truly believe it’ll help people, and that makes it feel like one of my greatest achievements so far. I can’t wait to share it.

This year is about giving back, finishing what I started, and staying focused on what truly matters.

Thanks for being part of the journey.
