A huge shoutout to one of the real ones.
You’ve been here since day one—back when this was just a wild idea, a spark of inspiration, and a handful of people dreaming about what could be. Watching both of our companies grow from those early days into what they are today has been nothing short of incredible.
From the early TRF clan days to packed dance floors, shared bonfire nights, campground throwdowns, community gatherings, late-night conversations, and countless unforgettable adventures, you’ve been a part of so many chapters of this journey.
Not only did you build what started as the Shamrock and evolved into GZ, one of Houston’s hottest community-driven spots. But you’ve continuously shown up for the people around you. Thank you for always reciprocating the love, supporting our vision, believing in what we’re building, and absolutely throwing down heat every time you step behind the decks.
Now you’re out in Austin chasing a new adventure, building community on the campgrounds, and continuing to leave your mark wherever you go. Year after year, you bring the energy to Neon Sands, helping create the magic that keeps people coming back. Whether it’s behind the DJ booth or spinning poi under the stars, you’ve always had a way of bringing people together.
A poi master, a gentle soul, and a friend who leads with heart.
The success is amazing, but it’s the moments in between that mean the most. The memories shared with our families, the campfire stories, the laughter, the struggles, the celebrations, and the friendships built along the way are the things I’ll cherish forever.
It’s been insane watching what started as a spark ignite into everything both of our companies have become today. I’m grateful our paths crossed all those years ago, and even more grateful that we’ve continued to support each other through every chapter since.
Much love, brother. Here’s to the next adventure ❤️🔥
