Now
Winter 2026
I would be foolish and a liar if I said anything was going on that was more important than my grief over the death of my son, Paco, in March 2025. Everything from my work-life, to how I spend time with the rest of my kids and my wife, who are also grieving, has been affected by this los. Paco was a tremendously funny and energetic kid.
When it rains it pours. My father died on Ash Wednesday, February 18. We buried him on March 6th. He was a Navy veteran and received military honors at his funeral. I never saluted so crisp in my life. The honor guard was touched to know that his father was a WWII vet, and I am an USAF 9/11 vet.
But even in grief, there is joy. Sold my house in Arizona and welcomed a new child into the home.
Of course, that’s not all I’m doing.

- (re)Settling into a new city (or, rather, an old favorite of mine)
