Dear New York City: Thank you! Thank you for… everything.
For nearly the last decade (and a third of my life), I have called you (and 57th & 11th street) my home. I came here as a Canadian living in Europe, developed personally and professionally, and have experienced more ups than downs along the way.
The energy felt being in this city propelled me to do some pretty awesome things, allowed me to partake in some incredible experiences and make friendships that will last a lifetime. Most of all, this city introduced me to my incredible wife (and future baby mama).
Although I am moving to California, I will always be a New Yorker at heart! On to the next chapter we go. #lifehappensfast
