Evolving milestones

Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc.

There were many milestones and each were like stepping into a stream of possibilities, adapting moment to moment.

First time moving out and finding an apartment in Boston. Stepping out into a different state than I grew up and against the wishes of my father. Without the help of anyone.

It was both challenging and exhilarating. Carving out true independence for the first time in my life.

Taking on the responsibility to build myself and character with integrity. A commitment to authenticity and growth in becoming a man.

Taking the time, learning who I am.

Later I moved to Los Angeles by myself and am still here.

I jumped in my 2000 Ford Focus with, Brando my Akita puppy and drove from Rhode Island to Los Angeles.

Another milestone was becoming a father for the first time.

Witnessing his birth and holding my son for the first time was an amazing moment and milestone. Each child was the same feeling with the exception of the firstborn because he was the one who transformed me into being a father.

There are many others because growth should be a constant process in life.

An ever evolving story with many chapters, encounters and characters.

Each day and milestone contributes to who I am, with more to come.
