Happy Birthday to the first to call me “Papa.” ❤️

Happy Birthday to the first to call me “Papa.” ❤️

Today, I celebrate the life of my firstborn son, Malcolm.

“I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him.”
— 1 Samuel 1:27 (NIV)

It’s hard to believe how quickly the years have passed. It seems like just yesterday we were welcoming him into the world and into our family. He brought a joy into my life that I will forever be grateful for.

I wish he were here so I could celebrate his birthday with him, give him a hug, and tell him in person how much I love him. Although he is no longer here with us, he will always be my son, always be loved, and always be remembered.

Happy Birthday, Malcolm. ❤️
Forever my son. Forever my firstborn. Forever the first to call me “Papa.”

Love, Dad

BALTIMORE, Md. — What a way to spend a Sunday afternoon as our family attended our first baseball game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards!

It was a beautiful afternoon, and we made memories together enjoying the sights, sounds, and excitement as the Braves battled the Baltimore Orioles to come away with the win in extra innings. 

Great baseball, great company, and memories we'll be sharing for a long time. ❤️⚾️

NEW YORK —  had the pleasure of attending the Smithsonian's Food for Thought Lecture & Luncheon at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. This event brought together the worlds of art, design, culture, science, and history. 

The Cooper Hewitt was a particularly fitting venue for the first program in this year's lecture series, especially with the opportunity to experience Art of Noise—an extraordinary exhibition exploring the relationship between music and design over the past 100 years. From concert posters and iconic album covers to phonographs, radios, record players, headphones, and modern digital music devices, the exhibition tells the story of how design has shaped the way we experience, share, and connect with music.

From the energy of New York City to the beauty and creativity of Cooper Hewitt, it was truly a day of food for thought, food for the soul, and inspiration for the imagination.
