2024 you sure were something... broke my heart, ended my show of 14 years, & threw a fraud at me but in my roughest year ever I made the biggest accomplishments to date after being told it couldnt be done....

Wrote a proclamation, built a fucking museum, put on the most historic event weekend in Miami Beach History, had lunch with my favorite bad guy, went to Portugal & Ibiza, made some incredible new friends including my childhood idols and earned all their respect. Invited to dinner by the creator of Miami Vice, became a Producer, closed Ocean Drive, made WORLDWIDE NEWS, had my own BILLBOARDS, and finally took someone special & deserving on a trip. I couldn't have done it or made it through this year without so many amazing people im very grateful for like Richie Romero, Ben Stiller, Chris Gravagna, Bruce McGill, Joe Cain, David Barrett, Veronica Duran, Saundra Santiago, Olivia Brown, Anthony Yerkovich, Robert Hantman, Edward James Olmos, Joaquim De Almeida, Michael Madsen, Marty Schwartz, The City of Miami Beach, Ceci Velasco, Ivan Wilzig, Devon Coull, Harold Plaut, Ramon Aleman, Rick Bravo, Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner, Deputy Chief Blake Govan, Damien Rudys, Raymond Thu, Lawrence Gillard Jr, Nate Daniels, Michael Carey, Bob Bravo, Imoya Monroque, Joe Aspromonti, Mr. Neon, Bill Smitrovich, The Amazing Men & Women of the Miami Dade Police Department/Deputy Director Carrothers, The Miami Beach Commissioners, Geovanni Gonzalez, Tim Sykes, Miami Beach VCA, the fans of Miami Vice from all over the world who supported and believed in me, some of the members of the NYPD, the Federal Bureau of Investigation Jacksonville Office, and of course MICHAEL SNYDER! There are many many more and I love you all!

Sorry but 3 or 4 photos cant sum up my year LOL

Thank You for the lessons 2024
