It’s hard to put into words the growth that I’ve witnessed from this man over the last year. I couldn’t let his 43rd birthday pass without acknowledgment.
What an insane year it’s been!
🚚 From moving
🏷️ selling the first house we built together
🏥 more ER visits than I can count
🤕 multiple surgeries
🏃🏽➡️ make-or-break leaps in business
👹 facing the biggest demons
👭 asking how we can be better for each other (and our kids every day)
💻 building AI agents that are taking Escapod to the next level
🍲 enjoying so much delicious food that he he’s cooked
💃 seeking out music and dancing that heals the soul
🛝 remembering that play isn’t just for children
It has been an honor to be by your side for the last 12 years, and especially this past one. I’m so proud of the man you’ve always been and of the man you’re becoming. There is so much ahead, my dear. We’re just getting started.
Happy 43rd Birthday, @chrishudak !!! 🎂🎉🎁

This is my first post since March 2017, mostly my brain can't handle a business and personal account but here it goes.
It may not have taken the full month of June to Summit and ski the great descents of Mount Denali but it did take every ounce of effort to get our 225lbs of gear to 14,000 ft and ourselves up the remaining 6,300ft to the summit. We met great people along the way, challenged ourselves and made lasting memories. @chutingproject and I climbed and skied over 24,500 ft in just 12 days, including The Messner (5k), Sunnyside (3k), and the Orient Express (5k). I am thankful for the support of my wife @jenhudak and business partner Chris Eckel @escapodtrailers for allowing me to follow my dreams, I know that I will someday be able to repay them.
