About Us

 On the journey of a lifetime, I gained the perspective to look beyond myself. I recognized nothing happens on its own – we have to create the world we want to live in.  

It had been several months since my youngest daughter, Tuolumne, was born, and I felt it was time to go back to work. When I saw the for-sale sign on the restaurant, I knew. Reopening under the name, The Spot Café, I firmly planted my stake in the community.  

I have always been older than my age. My parents had me when they were very young, and I grew up alongside them. They struggled from poverty, and I never felt like anyone in my family was truly happy. With that awareness, I began my quest to be happy.  

As a father, I wanted to break that family cycle and create a better narrative for my daughters. My oldest daughter, Devynn, first opened my eyes to what mattered. Our expensive trip to Disneyland did not rank in memory, but the day we spent together at the hotel pool did. I have raised my daughters to be strong, independent, happy women who do not question themselves. They made me think about who I am, the example I set, and how I want the world to remember me when I am gone. 

 I knew I was not done raising children, and when Devynn was 14, I adopted Tuolumne. Unfortunately, Tuolumne was born in critical condition. For the first week of her life, I visited her incubator in the hospital as her respirator hummed alongside us. After that, the doctor told me the only chance she had was with a procedure they could not do there. The problem was no hospital that could do it would risk an ambulance ride on a standard respirator, which would require her own lungs to do some of the work. 

 In tears, I called a man I had met years ago who I knew did something for Children’s Hospital. After leaving a voicemail begging him to help, the doctor came in and said the ambulance was on its way. That phone call made the difference and completely shifted my idea of community.  

Fortunately, that standard respirator was exactly what she needed. Within two weeks, she could breathe on her own! Today she is the picture of health, and I am so proud to be her father.  

Our experience got me thinking about the world I want to live in. I know we are the only ones who can change our lives. After Tuolumne was born, I thought bigger about that world, the community and my place within it.  

I want to live in a world where the barista is my friend, and when I need help, someone pitches in. It is the world I strive to create by helping at a personal level whenever I can. Life should be win-win or no deal, just like the Keller Williams motto.
