I have some incredible news to share… I’ve been selected as a 2025 Bush Fellow! 💛
To be honest, I’m still sitting with all the emotions. I feel so seen, valued, and deeply affirmed, not just by my peers and community, but by The Bush Foundation, an institution that believes in bold leadership rooted in lived experience.
This isn’t just a professional win. It’s personal. I’ve made mistakes in my life for sure. Mistakes that brought pain and public consequence. But I’ve also chosen recovery, accountability, and growth. Every day, I recommit to doing the work it takes to be the leader, husband, and father I’m called to be.
Through WEAREONE.exp, I’ve tried to build spaces for joy, healing, and connection—especially for those who often go unseen. The Bush Fellowship will help me grow that work even further, and continue to support others who are still on their journey.
Thank you to the Bush Foundation for believing in me. And thank you to every person who’s walked alongside me, challenged me, and reminded me that redemption is real, and love is work worth doing.
Believe it or not, this is only the beginning.
