A decade of friendship blooming into the love of a lifetime 💗
Y’all, I am SO crazy about this woman. I’ve never been loved so gently and absurdly hard at the same time before!! And I’ve also never been so head over heels in love. She is IT! She is absolutely so special in ways that this IG chat box won’t allow me to properly explain. So I won’t overdo it with words, but instead, hope that our happiness in all these photos exemplify EXACTLY what I mean.
My lil Bo Peep, I love you 🤠🐥
I never saw myself getting married until we got together. I never knew communication could be so easy, and that conflict could be settled with such tender love and care. Your warm embrace, intuition, selflessness, empathy and compassion have changed my life in the most serendipitous ways. I guess you’ve changed my perspective on a lot of things because before I knew it, I moved to Atlanta and began planning how I was gonna ask you to be wife. Flash forward a couple months later and there we were, getting dropped off in Central Park on a perfect fall day, right in front of the Conservatory Garden. Musicians I hired began to play one of our favorite songs “Let’s Stay Together” by Al Green and I took your hand to dance. Nervously spewing out a freestyle of words, attempting to tell you how much I loved you, I began to drop to one knee. Before I could even truly finish, you were already saying yes 💕
Now I get to refer to you as fiancée and before long, my wife. I’ve never been happier than I am now. I love you Kelly

April: everything’s coming together
- Began the month with winning MTA along my brothers Tito and Franky. Been going to this jam for a decade tryna win it, so to finally get it was a BIG accomplishment
- Actually spent a weekend at home for once and hit a card show with the light of my life, Kelly. That was SO much fun. I love our hobbies together
- Auditioned and got picked up by the Atlanta Falcons! So I can add working for an NFL team to the resume now
- Took a super memorable trip to San Francisco for Enter the Graveyard Vol.2 with the homies Thanh, E-Swift and our partners. And wow… that was such a BEAUTIFUL experience. Good times, food, sights and most importantly just building with my new found fam here in ATL. Love y’all man.
- Interviewed and was offered a dream job at a middle school 5 minutes from the crib. And if you know ATL traffic, you KNOW how big of a blessing that is! Excited to step into a new teaching role with new kiddos here next year!!
So yeah, life’s super blessed right now and all the pieces are falling into place! Gonna continue pushing and see where life takes me next. Thanks for reading y’all ❤️
@_vnice_ flew straight into battle ! Not even an hour in San Francisco and he’s already going off 🔥🔥

March
This month was serendipitous to say the least. It began with an offer that reignited my passion for breaking like never before. That spark pushed me to go train with my fam back in Columbus and then again in NYC later on. I also went to Seattle to compete with some new and old friends which was super dope, but the highlight of my trip was still going to see the cherry blossoms with friends at Washington University. Time’s passing too quickly as always, spring break is already here. Traveling every week in April so hopefully I’ll catch y’all around ❤️
February
This month passed so quickly that I forgot about even making this post. It’s so easy to get caught up in our own lives and forget the little things that make up most of it. I fall victim to this concept all the time but I’m trying to be better. This month I tried to spend more of my time intentionally. Really delegating where I spend my time and energy and I’m finding the world is constantly rewarding me for doing so. It all goes by SO quickly, I want to try to remember and make the most of it. This month I
- went to ATL collect-a-con
- started selling more cards as a lil side hustle
- had a picturesque Valentine’s Day doing boba and paint with my lil bo peep (shoutout to Axel and Anastasia for putting us on!)
- judged a couple of jams (in and out of state)
- lost a couple of jams
- worked on redefining what’s important to me in breakin
- spent more time with friends and am building a lil tight-knit fam here in ATL
People often ask me how I’m liking ATL, especially when I travel. I can honestly say moving here was the best decision of my life for a multitude of reasons. Looking forward to what March has in store ❤️ thx for reading alat
January
A new year bringing on new adventures, goals, motivation, intent and energy. This year started off very busy
- Came back from a MUCH needed refresh in Japan with Patoot
- Took a trip to Columbus to see friends and fam
- Took my first ever trip to Vancouver for Stray Path with the homies and killed it. Top 16 out of 65+ in a 3v3 in a place where no one knew who we were.
- Took a trip to Orlando to compete and see more friends.
The in-between moments were what made this month truly special tho. Organizing Pokemon cards with my lil Bo peep, grabbing drinks with friends, dancing, new food, sights and building with others… I get asked all the time how Atlanta and life is treating me and I can’t help but answer with joy and pride each time. Life’s blessed 🍻
December
What a way to wrap the year. The holiday season always brings with it such adventures. Seeing family and friends, traveling, competing and more. Half of this month was spent between Atlanta and the other half in Japan/Columbus. The end of this year brought with it a bunch of firsts. It was my first time living somewhere besides Columbus during the holiday season, first time celebrating it all with patoot as my fiancée, first time making it to top 8 at a big international jam, first time celebrating my birthday in another country (technically Jan 1st but whatever), first time feeding/petting deer and MUCH more. The experiences I’ve had can’t be done justice through explanation here, so I’ll let the photos and videos do their thing. Looking forward to 2026 and hoping to see you all there. Love y’all 🍻❤️

November
- Started the month off by winning another jam! This time with the other ATL transplant, Peach! Was a pleasure and honor to battle with the homie and come out with the win
- Spent a lot of intentional time at home recouping energy, training and getting ready for the upcoming year and the goals we’ll make for that.
- Work has been very challenging and exhausting lately, please send good energy my way ❤️
- Went crazy into collecting pokemon with Kelly and it’s becoming one of our favorite things to do together. I can honestly say there’s nothing like having a hobby you and a partner share and cherish. Between the shows we watch, things we do and time we spend together, the energy we pour into each other is forever keeping me afloat and happy. Fuck I’m lucky.
- Ended the month with some much needed family time for both of us. Make sure to always cherish the ones you love and let them know you care.
Looking forward to the final month of the year and the adventures it brings with it. Love y’all
