My wife Jessi, encouraged me to make it more than just “fun” and “for friends”.

She was a therapist who was several years into her own successful private practice, and helped me to believe in myself as a standalone artist. After a decade together as best friends with a perfect wedding, two beautiful kids, and all of life’s thick and thin, Jessi died from an aggressive form of breast cancer in April 2024 at the age of 32.

It’s because of her that I have the confidence and conviction to stand strong and independently.
