One day somebody signed an agreement, to fight, to defend, to represent our nations military. A part of that agreement was you might lose your life doing it.
Freedom is the most expensive thing we have. I'm grateful to those individuals who gave their lives so ours could continue. Especially the many stories of unknown sacrifices that will never be told.
Thank you all who gave the ultimate sacrifice and to their families who supported their decision to serve. Happy Memorial day

Happy mothers day from my momma and me.
As you celebrate this day with your mothers and grandmothers... Be intentional with your time.
Create new memories, take pictures, make videos...ENJOY THE MOMENT.
So many of our friends and neighbors might be starting this day wishing their mom's we're still here. Instead they only have memories.

Stopped by Good Day Orlando yesterday morning to talk about the events that transpired around ICON Park over the weekend.
I do want to make it clear that we are aware of an increasing trend of major, coordinated meetups at local entertainment hubs. To maintain an inviting atmosphere for all guests, we are taking preventative measures such as the consideration of an updated chaperone policy.
Orange County is currently collaborating with various regional and tourism stakeholders on this including the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, ICON Park, the International Drive Chamber of Commerce, and the International Drive Business Improvement District.
The priority is ensuring a positive experience for both visitors and residents, and we will continue working together to support that.

Yesterday I got to witness something pretty special. My buddy Remy is CANCER FREE!!!! 🎉🥳🎊 Wow, what a surreal moment. And what a blessing it was that he wanted me there among family to celebrate and cheer him on.
When I asked him what he was going to do to celebrate, the last thing I expected him to say was “go fishing.” But it brought the biggest smile to my face because whatever he said would mean he finally just gets to be a kid.
Thanks again to Runway to Hope for bringing us together 🫶🏾 Although I’ve only known him for a short time, I can say with certainty that I’m Team Remy for life.

This past weekend I proudly celebrated the 10th annual Florida Puerto Rican parade and the vibrant culture, history, and contributions of our Puerto Rican community.
I can’t underscore enough the importance of immersing yourself in different cultures and learning about your neighbors
And fellow community members.
