The Best Car Dealership I Didn’t Buy a Car From
We set out to make a financially responsible decision and somehow ended up buying a car from a dealership that wasn't our favorite dealership. Along the way, we met three extraordinary people who reminded us that kindness isn't a transaction, compassion doesn't require a commission, and treating people like they matter should never depend on what we stand to gain. Sometimes the most meaningful part of an experience isn't what we walk away with, but the people we encounter along the way.
Livin’ the Dream
Sometimes the dreams we casually throw into the universe have a funny way of becoming reality. From auditioning for Broadway to writing a book, raising a family, and learning to enjoy a well-deserved break, I'm discovering that living the dream isn't always about achieving the outcome we imagined. Sometimes it's about looking around and realizing how much of the life we once hoped for we're already living.

THEM.
Potential: The Ugliest Word
Monday, A Midsummer Night’s Dream nearly got cancelled. By Friday, we had sold out every performance before opening night even happened. Somewhere between teenagers carrying scripts like emotional support blankets, Shakespearean chaos, audience laughter, and one very validating conversation with a parent, I found myself thinking a lot about trust, leadership, culture-building, and the curse of seeing what something could become. This one’s about all of that — told, appropriately, as a play in five acts.
