Today is the 3-year anniversary of . Proud doesn’t even begin to cover how I feel about what we’ve built together. Every step of the way, we’ve grown, pushed, and we’ve shown up. We’ve enjoyed the highs and overcome the lows. Grateful for the clients who trust us and even more grateful I get to do this with the love of my life.

Four yrs ago today, in the very beginning of the shutdown, Francesca and I had this manic idea we wanted to shoot.

There were still so much uncertainty at the time. What would come of our industry (and the world as a whole)? Would we ever be able to come back to NY? Is this real life?!

With nothing but time on our hands, and I went to work drafting the idea for what would become this editorial, When Miami Stood Still.

Just a couple ‘o weirdos with mannequins draped in gowns, in the middle of … no big deal

Shooting on and being the only people out there was surreal. So eerie yet so peaceful.

I hope to never again experience that feeling 😮‍💨

Annnnnyway - what a wild ride it’s been since then. So much personal and professional growth. Happy to have made it this far with y’all.

Hey y’all! It’s been a while since I posted (whoops 😅).

So, what’s been happening lately? We’ve been busy making moves and doing our thing over here.

One of the most exciting developments has been teaming up with . This partnership has been truly transformative, both personally and professionally.

On the professional front, diving more deeply into video work has been exciting. It’s an area I’ve wanted to explore more, and this collaboration has provided the perfect opportunity to learn and grow.

Now, let’s talk about the personal journey. Here’s something many of you might not know about me—I’ve been dealing with two bulging discs in my lower back, one of which is herniated, along with piriformis syndrome in my hip. Yeah, it’s been a rollercoaster of challenges for the past 12 years.

Despite countless recommendations, I never seriously considered yoga until recently. But after attending my 30th class since December, I can confidently say it’s been life-changing. Physically, I feel stronger and more connected to my body. Mentally, I’m experiencing newfound calmness, clarity and productivity.

I’m incredibly grateful to have found a second home at Sui, especially alongside my amazing wife .

To Sui—thank you!
To all the new friends we’ve made—thank you!
To Francesca for discovering this space—thank you!
And to everyone hearing about Sui for the first time—You’re welcome! 😉

Now, enough about me. What’s been keeping you busy this year?
