I knew speaking at @jsconf.bsky.social 2025 would be hard, because so much of what I had to talk about I learned from Mikeal Rogers – and am still learning even now. The goal of the talk was to tell part of that story, a story about how the web isn't finished, yet 💡

NY Forever 🗽

Beyond our work together, our friendship is how I met my partner Tracy and in turn why my family exists ❤️

When we learned of his illness Tracy & I wanted him to get to meet the family our friendship created, which is where this most recent photo together came from

"It is really a passing of the era, not just a man" 💔 I cannot imagine my life had I not met Mikeal Rogers. I've said before that "JSConf changed my life" but behind the scenes there was always Mikeal.

You know.. life is funny..

If you don’t repeat the actions of your own success
You won’t be successful

You gotta know your own formula, your own ingredients

What made you, YOU..
