Shots from last week’s Texas Children’s Houston Open. I volunteered for the first time and spent most of the week on hole 4.

It’s pretty incredible to see professionals hone their craft and humbling to see just how easy they make a ridiculously tough game look.

2025 and my 9th year in real estate is in the books and it’s time for some much needed time away with the fam!

It was my best year yet in sales volume and number of transactions (36)! In a lot of ways, even though it was more chaotic at times, it was my most enjoyable year.

I’ve prioritized a work/life balance with my job and willingness to sacrifice work for important time with Caroline and the girls and I feel like I was able to honor that in the midst of a big year.

Here’s to 2026 and an equally enjoyable and successful year!

I got to take Adler to her first LSU game in Death Valley last weekend. She literally stood and danced the entire game to every song that played. Had the time of her life.

Hopefully this is the first of many trips to Baton Rouge to see the Tigers play!
