What’s up Fam! Year 2 of building our igloo is officially in the books. Still building, still learning, still growing... The igloo won’t be here long, but the memories will. ❄️💪🏾

My son’s already talking about building a second mini-igloo. We’ll see if the weather lets us run it back this year, but it’s locked in for next winter. If you’re nearby, come check it out before the sun takes it down.

There is a version of me my kids will never see.
Built for this.

Even on the quiet days.

Still building.
Still learning.
Still ALL IN. 🤎

My son Kyler turns 8 today. Watching him grow into such an incredible, disciplined young man pushes me every day to become a better, more loving father. 💙

Please show him some love. Drop a 🎂 in the comments and wish him a Happy Birthday!

17 years full-time with the Sphinx Organization!

Grateful to keep doing the work that uplifts, empowers, and transforms. 🙏🏽✨

Here’s to a year of discovery, purpose, and deepening commitment.

Protect. Provide. Pour.

I’m still learning, growing,
and trying to level up at the same time.
Protecting my peace, my kids, my heart.
Providing steadiness, consistency, presence.
Pouring into what matters most.

This season isn’t about making the right choice,
it’s about making the choice right, living it with intention,
and choosing to put one foot in front of the other every day.

What are you pouring into this year?

🎉 My firstborn turned 10 today — and I’m deep in my feelings. 🥹💛

She’s my teacher.
My mirror.
She’s the reason I look at the world differently — softer, wiser, more awake. 🌍✨

🎂 Happy Birthday, Kaydence.
Keep shining 🌟
Keep growing 🌱
Love you always. ❤️

Flew to TN to surprise my mom for Mother’s Day! 💐✈️

I’m forever thankful for the woman who embodies love, strength, grace, and resilience.

I’m also grateful for the incredible women who have shown my kids and me what love in action looks like—from family to friends, and everyone who has stepped in along the way to be part of our village.

Wishing a very Happy Mother’s Day to my mom and to all the amazing women who nurture, guide, protect, and uplift with their whole hearts.
