Happy New Year to all my friends, my family, CAMix members, and my Team CAMix crew 🎉🖤
I’ve been sitting here thinking about the last year, and I want to say something I should’ve said a long time ago…
I’m sorry for disappearing.
I know I went quiet. I know I didn’t answer messages. I know I wasn’t around like I normally am — not at events, not checking in like I should, not showing up the way people are used to seeing me show up. And I know that can leave people wondering what they did wrong, or thinking they don’t matter to you… and that’s on me.
The truth is, the past year hit me in a way I wasn’t ready for. Some of it was life… and some of it was health issues I’ve been dealing with. I’m not posting this for sympathy — I’m posting it because I owe people honesty. I’m dealing with it. I’m taking it seriously. I’m working through it. And I’m not letting it take me out.
To my family — thank you for loving me even when I wasn’t fully present. Thank you for the patience, the check-ins, and the grace when I wasn’t my best self. I don’t take that for granted.
And Kelly… I want to say this publicly because it’s true: thank you for being my wife. Thank you for standing by me when things weren’t easy. Thank you for your patience, your strength, and for still being there even when I wasn’t acting like the man you deserved in those moments. I see you. I appreciate you. I love you. ❤️
And to my friends, my CAMix family, and my Team CAMix people, thank you for not writing me off. Thank you to the ones who still showed love, still supported, still asked how I was doing, and still believed in me even when I wasn’t showing up like “TJ” normally does.
2026 is a new beginning for me. A real reset.
Not “new year, same habits.” I mean it — a fresh start. A year where I show up again. A year where I answer the messages. A year where I stop waiting for the perfect moment and start being present for the people who matter.
And honestly… it feels a lot like Team CAMix 2.0.
Because we’ve got redemption to do. We’ve got time to make up for. We’ve got memories to create again. We’ve got laughter to bring back. We’ve got that CAMix energy that makes people feel like they belong — and I want to be part of that again, fully.
“I’m built like a car as people know me. I just had a complete engine overhaul… and my turbo is starting to spool.” 🚗💨
I might’ve been down in the garage for a bit… but I’m not done. Not even close.
And in baseball terms:
When someone gets traded to a new team, they come in hungry… ready to make their name known again, ready to prove they still have it.
Well… I just got traded to TEAM CAMIX 2.0!! ⚾🔥
I’m coming back with heart, with purpose, and with something to prove — to myself most of all.
So whether you’re family, a friend, CAMix, Team CAMix, or someone who’s been watching from a distance… just know this:
I’m back. I’m rebuilding. I’m showing up.
And I’m grateful for every single person who’s still here.
Often imitated, never duplicated… there’s only one Prez. 😄🖤
So let’s fu***ng go!!! 🔥
Happy New Year, everyone.
Let’s make 2026 one for the books
