2025 was a beautiful year. I married my best friend, started a successful business with one of my closest bro’s, completed all classes for my Masters Degree, taught and graded my first university classes, and worked on my mental health and wellbeing.

I did my best to not post anything online as much this year. Instead, I wanted to live in the moments and build real life relationships. (This really helped my MH&WB)

2026 marks my 14th year of sobriety. In the beginning of walking this path, I couldn’t have imagined what my life would be like today. I’m so grateful for all of the people who have supported and loved me along this journey.

Some new goals for this year are to complete my masters thesis. Keep building this amazing roofing business. Build up the current relationships with those around me. Keep supporting and loving my wife unconditionally. Keep guiding my babies in a good way. Work on myself daily. Get into a healthy sleeping pattern. Lose 40-60lbs 😳 and become an overall healthier person, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

I pray that this new year brings you and your loved ones positivity, love, prosperity, and growth in all aspects of life. I wish you nothing but good things that bring you peace and happiness ❤️

- We finally got the rest of our wedding photos, here are some of them. Love you all, from my family to yours, Happy 2026 everyone

Proud to say that I’ve been sober for 13 years today!

During that time I have shared my life story to thousands of people in hundreds of communities. Received my bachelors degree last year, and will have my masters degree next spring (PhD in the future). I’m also getting married to the love of my life in 22 days!! I’m so happy that my children will never see me drunk or high. There is so much to be grateful for in this moment.

I still remember crying, feeling helpless, empty and lost. Praying for my life to change. All it took was one step towards a new path. Brick by brick, I will keep on building the future I deserve. Thank you all for the continued love and support on this lonely road of sobriety.
