The two most important titles I hold are husband and father. Family means everything to me, and no matter what else I accomplish, they will always come first.
Husband
My wife and I first met in the summer of 2007, right before my junior year of high school. We talked here and there through the summer and fall, and that winter I finally decided to shoot my shot and ask her out.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Growing up alongside my high school sweetheart has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. We’ve shared every season of adulthood together—from awkward teenage years to marriage, careers, kids, and everything in between. In May 2015, we made it official and tied the knot. She’s my better half in every way, and being her husband is one of my greatest joys.
My wife and I first met in the summer of 2007, when I was about to enter my junior year of high school. Throughout that summer and fall, we conversed every so often, but I finally shot my shot that winter and asked her on a date.
As they say, the rest is history. Marrying my high school sweetheart has allowed both of us to literally grow up together, and we hold so many special memories because of that.
In May of 2015, we made it official and tied the knot. My wife is certainly my better half and I love nothing more than being her husband.
Father
Being a father is something I’ll never take for granted. My wife and I went through a painful pregnancy loss and months of trying before we found out we were expecting our son, Giovanni (Gio). He arrived in February 2020, just weeks before the world shut down. His timing was perfect—he brought so much joy into a season when the world desperately needed it. Gio is full of personality, curiosity, and heart.
In December 2021, we welcomed our daughter, Luciana, whose personality is second to none. She marches to the beat of her own drum and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
And in August 2024, our family grew again with the arrival of our son, Lorenzo (Enzo). He has been the sweetest addition—laid back, expressive, and quickly developing his own little personality. Watching all three of them together is one of the greatest blessings of my life.
Family time—whether it’s playing, laughing, traveling, coaching Gio’s sports, or just being together—is my favorite part of every day. These are the memories I cherish most.
