I had the honor of officiating a wedding a few weekends ago.
Even typing that still feels surreal.
Not just because of the moment itself—the weight of standing between two people as they commit their lives to one another—but because of who was standing in front of me.
He’s someone I once interviewed.
Someone I hired.
Someone I’ve had the privilege of watching grow—not just professionally, but as a man.
At one point during the reception, someone came up to me and said:
“You’re his boss? Wow… you must have been a good boss. I don’t know if I would have had my boss officiate my wedding.”
I laughed in the moment, but that comment has stuck with me.
Because the truth is—moments like that mean more to me than any award, any title, or any recognition I could receive at work.
In our world, it’s easy to measure success by production, promotions, and numbers on a scoreboard.
But every once in a while, you get a glimpse of what actually matters.
Trust.
Respect.
Relationship.
To be invited into one of the most sacred moments of someone’s life—not as a formality, but as someone they want there… that’s a different kind of scoreboard.
It’s a reminder that leadership isn’t just about driving results.
It’s about earning a place in people’s lives.
And if I’m honest—that’s the kind of “success” I want to keep chasing.
Congrats Nick & Zoie, you are an incredible couple. What a gift it was to be a small part of your story.
