Happy Anniversary to my beautiful wife, best frien Happy Anniversary to my beautiful wife, best friend, and ride or die—though hopefully it never comes to that 🤷🏻‍♂️.

15 years ago today, we said “I do.” Michelle’s came out more like a question, but in her defense, our priest had a speech impediment.

Life isn’t always what you expect. It can get hard. But when you’ve got someone you love and trust by your side, nothing life throws at you really matters.

Every bit of pain or pleasure is better with you next to me. I love you, Mich. And I look forward to every tomorrow with you and our little psycho ❤️❤️❤️

Even if you think you don’t need it, having a strong foundation ensures you’re ready to bring your best to any role. 🎭✨ Let’s keep growing together!

AI is getting scary good. But here’s the thing — we already couldn’t tell what was real. Now it’s about to get even messier.
Be cautious. Don’t send money just because a voice or face looks familiar. Don’t trust every headline. Don’t click every link.
The world’s about to get wacky — keep your eyes open and your instincts sharper. 🧠⚡️
