THE WORK
High above Syracuse University, the campus glows in blue light for Remembrance Week.
Each year, we pause to honor the 270 lives lost in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland on December 21, 1988. Among them were 35 Syracuse University students returning home from studying abroad.
Their memory lives on through the spirit of this campus and the annual promise to look back and act forward.

One of my favorite places in all of Syracuse
Upper Onondaga Park at Hiawatha Lake isn’t just beautiful, it’s home. It’s where I grew up. The site of so many prom pictures, wedding photos, and family memories.
This spot in the heart of Strathmore has been bringing people together for generations. The stone bridge, the calm water, the changing leaves every fall. Its beauty has truly withstood the test of time.
No matter how many places I visit, this one always feels like coming home.

There’s something about a Syracuse sunset that makes everything feel a little more alive. Riding off into that golden light…on one of the @veomobility scooters for so many reasons, this video is so Syracuse. Shout to @sin_notsiny for the 🔥🔥🔥

That unmistakable Onondaga Lake moment… You’re cruising along, windows down, feeling good, and then it hits you. The kind of smell that stops you mid-sentence and makes you question every decision that brought you here.
If you’ve ever caught that whiff, you know. It’s practically a Syracuse rite of passage. 😂
To be fair, the cleanup has been incredible and the lake’s comeback is real. But still... what is that smell?

What if this is the life we begged for?
The one that doesn’t always go as planned. The one with hard days, good days, and everything in between. The one that still gives us sunsets over Skaneateles Lake, coffee runs through Armory Square, fall drives past Otisco, and snow that makes the world go quiet.
Maybe this is it. The life we prayed would find us. The one that’s messy, beautiful, and completely ours.
Because even with all its ups and downs, maybe this is the life we once dreamed of. And somehow, we’re living it right here in Central New York.

Just 10 Miles from Syracuse… sits one of the rarest lakes on Earth. And right now, fall is the perfect time to explore it.
Green Lakes State Park might look like a picture-perfect Upstate NY escape, but it’s so much more than a pretty view. The moment you walk the trail and see the glowing green-blue water surrounded by fiery fall colors, you realize this place is something special.
Thousands of years ago, glaciers carved out two deep, rounded basins. When the ice melted, it filled them with water. Unlike almost every other lake on Earth, Green Lake and Round Lake never fully mix top to bottom. They are meromictic, which means their deepest waters haven’t been disturbed or touched by oxygen in thousands of years.
Nothing survives down there. It’s like a time capsule from another era.
Because those layers never mix, sediment stays still. That’s why the water shines with that unreal, Caribbean-like color. It’s completely natural…and in the fall, the reflection of red and orange leaves on that water looks magical.
Hidden in the depths are ancient microbes and rare bacteria similar to life found in deep-sea vents or even on other planets.
There are only a handful of lakes like this on Earth… and two of them are right here, side by side, just minutes from Syracuse.
Fall at Green Lakes is quiet, crisp, colorful, and absolutely breathtaking. If there was ever a perfect time to go…this is it.
Who’s been? What’s your favorite part of Green Lakes in the fall?

I’ve spent years flying my drone over some incredible places.
Chasing views. Chasing beauty. Chasing “epic.”
And somehow, I never came here.
Chittenango Falls State Park has been right in front of me my whole life. Close enough to visit anytime, which usually means never.
But the moment I finally flew it… everything stopped.
From above, this place is raw.
Powerful.
Honest.
Water carving its way through time like it owns the land.
And it made me ask myself:
Why do we always look far away for wonder when some of the most breathtaking places are in our own backyard?
I’ve filmed all over.
But this one humbled me.
Sometimes you don’t need a plane ticket.
You just need to show up.

Downtown Syracuse in the fall feels like the city is taking a deep breath. From high above with my drone, the streets transform into a patchwork of reds, golds, and burnt orange as the trees wrap the historic buildings like a warm sweater.
You see the copper roofs and brick facades glowing in the afternoon sun, the tiny figures walking through Clinton Square with coffee in hand, and the way the Onondaga Creek reflects the colors like a mirror. There’s this perfect mix of energy and calm. The city is alive, but there’s a softness to it this time of year.
Flying over it all reminds me why I love this place. Syracuse doesn’t just show you fall. It surrounds you in it.

There is a rhythm to life in Upstate New York.
Summer showed up in all its glory this year with long warm nights and golden sunsets, and just when we thought it was over, we were gifted a second summer with that stretch of late-season heat. It felt like the season didn’t want to say goodbye.
Then fall quietly stepped in.
The air softened. The light shifted. The hillsides started to glow with color.
Now the world around us is transforming with vibrant reds, oranges, and golds spreading across the landscape. From high above places like Woodland Reservoir in Strathmore, the view feels endless, like the whole region is painted. Look at those rolling hills of the valley!
Our seasons are short, but that is why we cherish them.
Every view. Every leaf. Every moment.
Upstate New York does not just change with the seasons, it tells a story.

Tonight, the Syracuse skyline is speaking from the heart.
The Crouse Health clocktower is glowing pink and the Syracuse University JMA Wireless Dome is lit in blue in honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.
These colors are more than light.
They represent love, grief, and the memory of little lives gone too soon.
They honor:
💗 those born sleeping
💙 those we carried but never met
💗 those we held but could not bring home
💙 those we brought home but couldn’t stay
To every family who has faced this unimaginable loss, you are not alone. Your babies are remembered. Your stories matter.
Thank you to Crouse Health and Syracuse University for recognizing this important day and choosing to visibly support the families in our community. This act of compassion brings awareness, comfort, and unity to so many.
Tonight, our city shines with remembrance. 💙💗

Franklin Square is a place where history and progress live side by side.
Restored brick buildings, tree-lined walkways, and a neighborhood that continues to grow with new restaurants, businesses, and jaw-dropping places to live.
Rising above it all is my favorite landmark in Syracuse, the iconic Franklin Square water tower.
While everything around it has evolved, the water tower has remained the same. It stands as a timeless symbol of the neighborhood’s character and heritage.
It is more than architecture. It is a storyteller.
In winter, it wears a crown of snow.
At sunset, it glows with golden light.
On calm evenings, it reflects perfectly in the fountain below.
Every season gives it a new personality, but it always steals the spotlight.
If you have not visited Franklin Square lately, take a stroll and soak in the history. And when you do, do not forget to look up at this iconic beauty.

I grew up here. I went to school here. Like a lot of people, I thought I had to leave to “make it,” so I did. But something kept pulling me back. The memories. The community. The way this place just feels like home.
I came back to Syracuse to start a family, and the more I see it from above, the more I realize how underrated it really is. It’s not just snow or sunsets. It’s long summer nights by the water, historic architecture around every corner, four seasons that each tell their own story, and some of the most genuine people you will ever meet.
This place shaped me. And now I get to share its beauty with the world.

Sometimes you need a different perspective to really feel the pride of where you come from.
Flying high above Corcoran High School, my alma mater, I was hit with a wave of nostalgia. This field is where fall Friday nights felt electric. Where the whole community showed up. Where everything felt possible.
And then you look beyond the stadium and see Strathmore wrapped around it like a warm hug. Charming streets. Historic homes. Trees exploding with color. The kind of neighborhood that feels like a postcard this time of year.
The foliage isn’t just pretty… it’s powerful. It reminds us that change can be beautiful. That seasons don’t last forever, so we soak them in. And that Syracuse isn’t just where we live. It’s home.
How lucky are we to have views like this…and stories rooted this deep.

Wegmans got me living two lives:
In the aisles I’m Gordon Ramsay…
At checkout I’m applying for financial aid.
I went in for “just a few things.”
I came out calculating if I actually bought the store.
Why does my cart look like a snack…
…but my total looks like a down payment?!
Groceries shouldn’t require a budget meeting and a prayer circle
If Wegmans had a loyalty program for trauma, I’d be Diamond Elite.

High above Tipperary Hill sits one of Syracuse’s true landmarks: Burnet Park Golf Course.
It’s only nine holes, but it’s packed with history and beauty.
Built in 1901, it’s one of the oldest public courses in the country and one of just a few city-owned courses we have left.
From the first tee, the view says it all…downtown skyline, the Dome, and in the fall, a sea of orange and red trees surrounding every fairway.
Generations have learned the game here. Locals call it our little Augusta for a reason. When the foliage hits, there’s nowhere in the city that looks like this.
Burnet Park isn’t just a golf course. It’s Tipperary Hill pride and a Syracuse classic.
