Twenty years. Still showing up.
Every morning before an assembly, I stand in an empty gym with Ryan's photo and ask myself if I still have the strength.
The answer is always the same.
As long as there's one student who needs to hear this, one life that might be saved, one family spared this grief, I'll keep going.
This isn't a job. It's a promise I made to my son.
If your school is ready for a presentation that students remember years later, let's talk.
