Scott and I first crossed paths at the National Charter School Conference in Minnesota in 2012. I lived in Oregon, surrounded by my family: Patrick, Tabitha, Silas, and, while Scott was in Reno, Nevada, with his loved ones Katie and Dan. From that moment on, our journey began, filled with adventures, professional milestones, family gatherings, and countless cherished memories. As we celebrate our day with you, we reflect on how far we've come and look forward to the future.
