When Jason and I talk about our life together, we always come back to the same word: intentional. We've tried to build a home where creativity isn't something you do—it's how you live. Where curiosity is celebrated, not corrected. Where giving back isn't an obligation but a joy.
Our children have grown up watching me paint, watching their father work through complex problems, watching both of us learn new things. They've seen that passion takes work. That meaningful achievement requires showing up when you don't feel like it. These aren't lessons we lecture about—they're lessons we try to model.
"Our children are our greatest teachers, constantly reminding us to see the world with fresh eyes."
Our Home
We chose Florida for the energy. There's something about this state that feels perpetually alive—the mix of cultures, the creative community, the way the light changes over the water. It's a place where ambitious people come to build things, and that energy shapes our family.
Florida keeps us grounded. Despite its glamour, it's a place where family matters. Sunday dinners, school events, beach days—these rhythms anchor us.
Creativity at Home
Our home is filled with art—not just mine, but the kids' too. We don't distinguish between "real" art and children's drawings. All of it goes on the walls. All of it matters. The message we want our children to internalize is that creative expression isn't reserved for artists—it's part of being human.
Movement
Physical activity is central to our family culture. The kids have seen me train for the NYC Marathon, watched me struggle through difficult runs, witnessed the discipline it takes. We want them to understand that caring for your body is part of caring for yourself. Whether it's running, swimming, or playing outside, movement keeps us connected to each other and ourselves.
