It’s the perfect rhyme to begin 2026 for this brand. It’s shaping up to be a special year as well, I can feel it!
I plan on celebrating 35 years of life this October and every 5 years , it just gets even more special to see that milestone .
To think of all the medical mysteries my family and I have had to overcome to get to this drive to 35. There is a depth to evolving from being a scrawny kid even in college to growing out of that and just grabbing life by the horns and being able to take opportunities God has put in front of me . While taking care of my health even more since that pesky little gallstone!
Personally, I am really excited that this drive to 35 coincides with America250, FanaticsFest now featuring Aaron Judge , and really just any opportunity God throws my way on this drive to 35!
I feel blessed that I have been asked to further immerse with Team Mike Gallagher in addition to the continued work with Salem Media GROUP NYC including working with SNL legend Joe Piscopo and high-powered criminal defense attorney Arthur Aidala!
The last few years alone since losing my dad has grown me up and shown me I can carry on with the love and support of my mom and stepdad Victor and sister Abby! God has also grown me closer with some amazing people over the last few years like my forever people in my daily life : Gabby, Ryan , Lindsay, Cheri, Sambolino , Caleb, Ashi and Danny! In addition to Arthur and Joe Piscopo , Joe Sibilia and Joanie Pelzer, these Great Eight have just kept me upright and I always believe each of them have joined the journey along the way at the right time!
There is no doubt there are times I feel the weight of carrying my dad’s memory with me along this drive to 35 but I also know, like my Earthly family and extended family, he too would want me to hit 35 !
The other thought I’ve been having is it’s 25 seasons , yes 25 seasons being welcomed in by the Yankees family thanks to George Steinbrenner. Much of my drive to 35 is working to stay as relevant as I felt at the age of 8!
There was a time where I was either in the Yankees suites , on tv or radio with Variety the Children’s Charity , and even on TV with Regis Philbin!
Yet, I Don’t believe I’ve hit my ceiling ! On this drive to 35, I want to bring my brand ONELEGUPALEX to the masses more and help others have one leg up on life! While mixing in sports media along the way!
As the Beatles sing it’s been a long and winding road to the last 34 years , but in year 35 I am so ready to keep pounding the pavement and growing myself up .
With One Leg Up, of course!
