Thirteen years later, a reflection on life, gratitude, second chances, and the people who helped save mine. Thirteen years ago, my life was very different. There was a time in my life when the weight of everything I was carrying felt heavier than I knew how to handle. A time when I struggled to see…
I admit it. I have an obsession with Jacob & Co. watches—and at this point, I can’t exactly call it a secret. I proudly own two of them. There is something about Jacob & Co. that speaks to a completely different side of my appreciation for watches. I love traditional horology. I appreciate heritage, precision,…
Every year, as Thanksgiving approaches, I find myself thinking about a Thanksgiving that almost never happened for me. In November 2013, three days before Thanksgiving, I attempted to take my own life.Even after all these years, writing those words feels heavy.There is no elegant way to describe a moment when someone reaches a place where…
There’s something about Jeffersonville that doesn’t just invite you in—it holds onto you. Tucked quietly beneath the towering presence of Mount Mansfield, this small Vermont village has become more than just a destination for me. It’s a place where time softens, where the noise fades, and where memories feel a little more vivid. Every trip seems to begin…
Six months ago, I made one of the most difficult decisions of my life. I chose to hold people accountable for actions that had deeply affected my well-being.

Now that I’ve…

One of my favorite winter rituals is strapping on a pair of snowshoes and heading into the woods. There’s something incredibly…
There was a time in my life when everything felt heavy. If you’ve followed my journey, you know I’ve faced mental health struggles. I’ve confronted people who hurt me. I’ve wrestled with faith, identity, leadership, expectations, and the weight of being “strong” for everyone else. Healing didn’t happen overnight. It wasn’t a breakthrough moment. It…
Growing up in South Windsor, some of my most meaningful moments didn’t happen in a classroom or a boardroom — they happened outside at Nevers Road Park. Long before I was building companies, writing books, or managing the daily pressures that come with responsibility, I was walking those paths. Sometimes once, sometimes several times over….
For most of my life, success had a very specific look. It was loud. Polished. Predictable. Success was supposed to feel like fireworks the moment you arrived. Like a standing ovation. Like relief mixed with pride, certainty, and maybe even a little smug satisfaction that said, “See? I told you so.” At least, that’s how…
