Yesterday was my birthday, and I want to make the time to thank everyone for their kind messages they sent me. It truly is a blessing to reach another year of life. It’s a little sweeter to be able to spend it in Europe.

As I sit here typing away and trying to get my thoughts together, I really can’t say, “THANK YOU!” enough to all of my friends, family, and supporters (Tribe MikeCon)! I’ve been a professional photographer and entrepreneur for almost 7 years now. Most people don’t even survive the first 3 to 5 years doing what I do. Now that I have moved from Colorado and work with a team of photographers and more creative, and driven people, I must admit that life’s pretty good. All of the head and heart aches were definitely worth it.

My biggest thing is that I just want to remain positive and inspire others to push and pursue their goals independently, without making excuses, or ego. I’ll always do that because the world always needs a positive force in it. Besides, life’s better with positivity in it, and it’s too short to be constantly acting fake, or mean. I’ve dismissed all people like that in my circles, and I encourage you all to do so as well. I’ve grown, and so should you!

Well….again, thank you all for being kind enough to wish this ageless guy a great birthday!
