13 HONOREES. 13 STORIES. ONE UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT. ✨

We came dressed to celebrate. We left with a deeper appreciation for the people around us.

Behind every award was a journey.

Behind every accomplishment was a sacrifice.

And behind every honoree was a story worth telling.

Our sold-out 2026 Mayor’s Ball reminded me that we shouldn’t wait until someone is gone to give them their flowers. 🌹

I’ve written a special reflection on the evening—and why the spotlight was never meant to be on me.

And tag someone who deserves their flowers today. ❤️

One of my favorite moments from the Mayor’s Ball wasn’t an award presentation or a speech.

It was looking around and seeing my family.

Leadership takes time. Building a business takes sacrifice. Chasing a vision takes commitment. And sometimes the people closest to you carry more of that journey than anyone realizes.

To my children and my entire family: thank you for loving me, supporting me, understanding the long days, and being part of this journey.

Everything I’m working to build has always been about something bigger than me.

Because success means a lot more when the people you love get to share in it.

This is what legacy looks like to me. ❤️

Before there was a Mayor’s Ball, before the titles, before the recognition… there was us.

Through every season, every challenge, every victory, and every dream that seemed bigger than what we could see, my wife Monique has been right there.

People often see the person standing in front.

They don’t always see the person who helps keep them standing.

And while we celebrated some incredible people at the Mayor’s Ball, I want to take a moment to celebrate the woman who has been with me through many seasons.

Thank you for walking this journey with me, believing in the vision, and reminding me what matters most.
