        "It’s the six year anniversary of my brain surgery. Honestly, it’s never meant more to me than it does now.

To start, if it hadn’t happened or been a success, I would not be the father I strive to be. The simple fact that I can visit Ollie every night, and thus sleep a tiny bit, without fear of a seizure is vital. Not to mention the relentless stress of going through this long process of highs, lows, and alarms not once making me worried. Add to that I can still work full time, coach two baseball teams, play baseball with Atlas at any time he demands, surf whenever I have a free hour, and support the amazing @jessamuse however needed. This all simply wouldn’t be possible if I still had to battle epilepsy and seizures the way I did up until March 12, 2018. 

I am incredibly fortunate to have found Dr. Escueta via @nate_frog / @epilepsylosangeles and received the treatment I did. I am more fortunate to have had Jess’ unwavering support through the good and the bad. 

For the rest of my life I strive to raise #epilepsyawareness and support my fellow warriors and their families. That is why you almost always see purple in my outfits and on my surfboards. I am here to start conversations, provide education, be a support, and share my #epilepsy story.

And now, I aim to do the same for the NICU community. Ollie turns three months today, in other words 91 days of a rollercoaster journey that I don’t know yet how best to explain. But, I can say that I am here for any fellow NICU parents. I can relate to your experience, provide a shoulder, and have a conversation. This is not easy, but it’s not impossible either. When I was in the recovery from a bad seizure cluster, I came up with the phrase #epilepticopportunity. I don’t yet have a positive one for this experience, but I do know that when it’s all said and done I will look back on it proud of Ollie, Jess, and Atty for all they did to get through it, grow, and learn. Every challenge in life is hard, but they also provide opportunities. 

So cheers to six years with one less cubic centimeter of brain and three months of Ollie being on this planet."
