Several very cool things have happened to me recently:

• Held a successful golf tournament, the Southern California Charity Golf Classic where we raised $7,591.81 for charity.
• Named Chairman of the Board for the Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce.
• And became a dad to my amazing son, Sebastian.

I’m a lucky guy.
