11 YEARS 🌇

As one chapter of life was comi 11 YEARS 🌇

As one chapter of life was coming to a close, I made a life changing decision to pack up what I could and move from my hometown in Colorado to Nashville. I had no plan, no job, and no idea what I was doing. We had just wrapped the 10th Anniversary of The UMS, feeling both accomplished and exhausted. As we packed up what remained from that milestone, I packed up my car and what I could fit into my rented trailer and hit the road. 🛻 Little did I know then that I was embarking on an 11 year adventure that would change my life in so many meaningful ways. From working in the industry that I dreamed about as a young child to finding true love and building the family and foundation I had longed for most of my life. July 27, 2010 was the start of an incredible journey and the continuation to my story. 📚 While my heart will be tied to my Denver-born roots, today belongs to Music City. The place I landed 11 years ago. 💖 Though I don’t know where the next 11 may take me, I know now that the story continues and I’m ready for what’s next. For now, I am home.🔮
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! ♥️ To my Joe, you a HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! ♥️ To my Joe, you are the reason I can confidently wake up everyday living my fully authentic self. You are not only the best husband and partner I could ever have wished for, you’re my absolute best friend. Everyday is an adventure filled with laughter and hijinks that I wouldn’t trade for anything else. I’m #gladyouexist and I love you so much! ♥️ To all those lovers and solo loves out there, take some time to celebrate the love in your life today. Whatever that may look like! I love you all! ♥️
No hustle and bustle of people celebrating across No hustle and bustle of people celebrating across town. No Lyft rides. No fancy parties. Just four dear “quaranteam” friends together for a night of laughs, dancing around the house, and memory lane to ring in the new year. 🍾 However you celebrated, I hope that 2021 brings you happiness, health, and closer to those you love. Happy New Year! 🎆

Lockdown: One Year Later. One year ago, when the w Lockdown: One Year Later. One year ago, when the world announced a global pandemic, much was unknown about the inevitable lockdown we were heading into. I packed up my desk at work, set up a station at home, and we ordered whatever supplies we could find online. Then we waited... and watched. 😳 As we began to adjust to life without friends, hugs, or in-person anything, we improvised with video chats, phone calls, and quaranteams. But still scared and consumed by the tragic news that filled our screens. 🥺 A year later, we are still home and unsure about what’s next but perhaps a bit more hopeful. So In an effort to refocus the tragic memories of the last year to hope and light, I’m sharing this fun collaboration that our dear friend @joshuaalanr invited us to participate in when lockdown began. My hope is that someday @joe__face and I can look back at this as a reminder of the bump in the road of our beautiful journey. And my hope for all of us is that we find the rainbow at the end of this storm. 🌈 P.S. Hit me up on @zoom if y’all want to party later! 💻🎉

#Chattanooga has done it again, serving as the backdrop to my wonderful birthday weekend getaway and some much needed adventure in this crazy year! 💚 
Thank you @joe__face for always going above and beyond to make me feel celebrated and loved every day of the year, but even more so on my birthday. I love you! ❤️

@cassadeepope, you always show up and remind me what true friendship should be. I can’t imagine laughing uncontrollably (until we almost fall down) with anyone else! And to my scorpio brother @sampalladio, my birthday is no longer complete without sharing the stage for a perfectly choreographed rendition of any 90’s pop smash! I look forward to more celebrations together in the future. 💛

In the season of giving thanks these people, and so many others that made my birthday extra special this year, have given me a lot to be thankful for. It was a historic week/ weekend that I will never forget and would not have wanted to spend it any other way. This next year is looking up! 💜
As a boy who grew up under the wing of and surroun As a boy who grew up under the wing of and surrounded by strong women figures, today is a day truly worth celebrating. 🎉 When I’ve felt I didn't have a safe place to land, you provided a safe space. When I’ve been sad, you made me smile. When I’ve felt weak, you gave me strength. 💖 To all the wonderful women in my life - photographed above or not - you have been and continue to be an inspiration to me. And even though today is #InternationalWomensDay, you remain my heroes every day! 🚺
