Becoming a Grandfather
Becoming a grandfather for the first time has filled my heart with a kind of joy I never knew possible. Watching my son Jake step into fatherhood with grace and tenderness—and seeing Parker blossom into the incredible mother she was meant to be—has been nothing short of awe-inspiring.
Jake was always a curious little guy, full of questions and energy, and now I see that same spark in his care for Bleu, our first grandson, born December 4th, 2025. I couldn’t be prouder of how he and Parker have embraced this new chapter. They're thoughtful, patient, and fiercely devoted—everything you hope your child will be when they become a parent.
What makes this journey even more special is the deep friendship I share with Parker’s dad, Darren. For over 25 years, we’ve fished together, shared stories, and watched our kids grow side by side. To now see our children fall in love and bring a new life into the world—it’s as if time has gifted us something truly magical.
Bleu’s arrival is the beginning of a beautiful legacy. I am elated. I am proud. And I am deeply thankful to be part of it all.
