Wow, what a year; so much has happened at work and in my life, I simply couldn't be more grateful for the life I get to live. First and foremost thank you to my wife for supporting me throughout the year and being the most amazing woman I know. You are my rock and I get to do what I do thanks to your support. Secondly, thanks to family & friends for all of the great memories and third thanks to all of those people I got to support in real estate this year.
Looking back at 2025 I have some amazing memories that I will always cherish. As someone that loves to travel I have to start with the trips I was fortunate to take; Naples, New York City, New Orleans, Hanoi (Vietnam), & Miches (Dominican Republic). Yeah those were amazing trips and I am grateful for sure as each was filled with memories. Or how about we look back at some of the relationships Kathryn & I got to celebrate with friends. Congrats goes out to Trent & Mary, Megs & Cameron, and Laurie & Charlie; yeah it was a good year for some great couples. Hmmm, what else could I possibly talk about? How about the fact that I got to celebrate my 10th wedding anniversary with my lovely wife back in August. It's been an amazing 10 years, and the 11th is shaping up to be the best year yet since we welcomed our son into the family earlier this month, so yeah that easily the biggest highlight of the year.
I know there is so much more detail I could share with you regarding the year, and those of you I made memories with also share those memories. This is not the forum for that detail, but just so you all know it was a great year and I'm happy to share more details over a cup of coffee.
Now onto the other part of the year and that is the business side. I have done many updates throughout the year, so I don't plan on making this a super detailed post, but what I will share is a word of Thanks. Thank you to the 33 families that trusted me this year. Thank you to the 33 families that I was privileged to support this year. Thank you for allowing me to serve you with your real estate needs and getting to be a small piece of the dream you got to recognize in 2025. I look forward to helping more families out next year and in the years to come.
Cheers to 2025 and I am very excited for what 2026 has in store! I don't even know what it will be, but I'm excited for the unknown!!!
