today I marked two years of sobriety. AA has given me a second chance at every aspect of my life that I’m grateful for at every moment. if you ever need to reach out and talk, I’m always here to listen and pass on what this program has given me. 💓
I would love to eat my way around the world, but, you know, money. we have so many international restaurants in Las Vegas, and I want to try as many as I can.

J.D. Vance is on stage and has spent a lot of time hitting on immigration. He's mispronounced Nevada a couple of times now. Sam Brown went on stage and endorsed Vance for VP.

some news about me: today is my last day
@FOX5Vegas
. tough to sum up 4+ years in a tweet, but it’s been a wild ride. proud to have worked on award-winning, inspiring and sometimes difficult stories with a team of fantastic journalists.
grateful for getting through 2020 sober. grateful for everyone who’s helped keep me there. grateful to mark three years today.
this one’s for my dad, who was always one of my biggest supporters in sobriety. ❤️

hi all. was hit by a driver who took off late last night downtown. everyone in my car is OK, thank god, just soreness and a monster headache for me. and metaphorical headache to deal with this now. please drive slow, pay attention and stay sober. please, please, please.
today marks 5️⃣ years since I quit alcohol and drugs and chose to live.
the last few months have been rough, but I’m thankful for a support system in AA and beyond that keeps me afloat.

Some of you know my dad had been fighting cancer for a little more than a year. Today, I’m heartbroken to say my dad Dale passed away at age 66.
I’m thankful that I had him closely in my life for 27 years but we already miss him so, so much.
the parking garage at Circa is completely devoid of slapped-on shoe prints, which I’m sure the staff is very happy about, but the Vegas kid in me noticed immediately
hear me out — when the earthquake happened in Las Vegas, toxic waste-mutated grasshoppers were released from Area 51, evolving into pigeons with little cowboy hats
