My wife, Cara, and I met in graduate school at St. John’s University. On our first date we got lost in flow during a 6-hour conversation. We both knew the search was over—we found our soul mate. Of all the blessings I’ve received in my life, our relationship together takes the cake! Evening walks recapping our day, Sunday morning pancakes, and embracing each other while retiring for the night are a few of the many reasons that I feel so fortunate to be married to Cara. I love knowing we’ll grow old together—with our rocking chairs pointing west. |

Here's our son, James, at 4 years old holding our daughter, Julianne, at 6 months old. Since day one he's been madly in love with her, and the feelings are mutual. No one, not even my wife and I, can brighten her face like James does. It's such a blessing to watch your kids develop a flourishing sibling relationship. |

Here's my buddy Matt and I with our sons, Sammy and James. I consider Matt my brother. He "gets me" better than anyone. I can always count on us getting lost in flow during meaningful conversations. It's a blessing knowing that our sons will be best buds like their dads. |

I’m fortunate to have the same group of friends, with some additions along the way, for over the past 15 years. We have experienced everything together, from high school graduation to the birth of our children. I love them dearly. |

This was taken on Christmas day 2010. It's my favorite picture of James and Julianne because it's a candid shot that perfectly captures their love for each other. Watching them grow up together gets better and better everyday. |
