George and I have been there for each other since we were two years old and for most of life's most poignant moments.
Finding true love with my wife, Marie-Josée, has been one of the greatest gifts of my life.
As I reflect on my journey, I am forever grateful to have always had George by my side. As I said in the beginning, my story is really our story. George influenced almost every decision I made in life and my friendship and kinship with him deeply influenced the man I am today.
There is nothing more important to me than my children and focusing on them. It’s the quality of time with my children, not the quantity of time that I’ve found to be important.
