There’s a moment before it starts. Before the puck drops. Before the crowd finds its voice. Before everything that’s about to happen, happens.
This is that moment.
The ice is still perfect. The building is already electric. Nineteen thousand people all waiting for the same thing. I’ve stood in a lot of buildings with my camera. I’ve watched a lot of moments from behind the lens. And sometimes I still don’t have what feels like the right words for what it feels like to be in this building. / CBL for TBL

The first roar of a playoff crowd is something you feel in your chest before you hear it with your ears. Bolts Nation filled Ford Thunder Alley and Benchmark International Arena and gave everything they had from the first drop of the puck. Thank you for that. Hockey in Tampa just hits different.
And trust me, I went to a Red Wings game in Detroit earlier this year. I can unequivocally certify it’s not the same. Not even close. ⚡

Florida skies hit different when your team just won in overtime. Sorry Montreal, our sunshine, our skyline, and our boys on the ice are all operating at a level you just couldn’t match tonight. The weather is better, the hockey is better, and this plaza full of Bolts Nation in playoff mode is something your city is simply not ready for. Game 3, here we come. / CBL for TBL ⚡️

Nobody in that building needed a calendar to know the playoffs had arrived. Round 1, Game 1 at Benchmark International Arena, and Bolts Nation showed up with every single thing they had. This city doesn’t do quiet. Not ever. / CBL for TBL

Had a great time supporting my friend @tblightning Head Coach, Jon Cooper at his #coopscatchforkids fishing tournament kickoff which raised over $400,000 which was a new highest total of funds that help support children battling cancer. Shout out to everyone that came and helped make this event special.

University of South Florida cybersecurity students suit up in their on-campus lab Oct. 26, 2023, in Tampa, Florida. Armed with caffeine, code, and just enough ‘80s hacker energy to make Matthew Broderick proud, they’re training to outsmart tomorrow’s digital villains—one firewall at a time.
