We still need instruments! Help us put music into the hands of our kids and make this event truly unforgettable. This is a great opportunity for them to explore, learn, and experience the joy of making music, but we need your help to make it happen.

We are currently accepting donated instruments for the kids to play. All donations are tax-deductible, and every contribution makes a real impact. Please note: due to space limitations, we are unable to accept large or full-size pianos.

If you have an instrument collecting dust, consider giving it a second life in the hands of a young musician!

I am truly honored to receive the Outstanding Young Man Award from the Hobbs Chamber of Commerce. This recognition means more to me than I can fully express, and I hope to always live up to what it represents.

I continue to be in awe of this community and the incredible leaders who pour so much into making Hobbs such a special place. It’s a privilege to be part of something bigger than myself.

A special thank you to our keynote speaker, Salem S. Thyne, for a powerful reminder that failure can be a launching point for great success, and that taking care of yourself along the way matters just as much.

I also want to sincerely thank Robert Guthrie for the nomination. Robert is a true friend, not just to me, but to so many in our community. The work he and his team do changes lives and gives people a real chance to start over, and I am grateful for his example.

And most importantly, thank you to my wife Kalea Blackwood. Your unwavering support, especially in the hard seasons, is a constant reminder of what true success really looks like. I wouldn’t be here without you.

I am beyond blessed and deeply grateful.
