After much family discussion and a little financial commitment from my son (he paid for his own safety gear), Gabe officially started football this week.

Huge shoutout to Nick Baumert over at Custom Customs Inc. Nick is a business owner, a coach of young men, and an all-around solid member of our Las Vegas community.
I honestly don’t know when this guy takes a day off. Nick runs a metal fabrication company, coaches youth football here in town, and also runs a foundation that teaches kids (mine included) how to weld on the weekends. It’s pretty incredible to watch someone show up like that, consistently.
They say it takes a village to raise a man, and I’m really grateful our family found Nick to have in our son’s corner. Give their Instagram a follow HERE, and if you’re ever looking for custom metal work in Las Vegas, be sure to support Nick’s business.

1550 W Horizon Ridge Pkwy suite g, Henderson
The intoxicating aroma of baking bread is the first thing that greets visitors at Le Cafe du Val. This neighborhood gem has earned a devoted following for its buttery croissants and a hot chocolate so rich it borders on legendary.
Whether it is a Burrata Caprese sandwich on a crisp baguette or a decadent S’more crepe, the quality remains impressively high. Grab a table outside for a slow, sun-drenched brunch.

🛍️ Four new shops join The District
