I was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. And I want you to know today, that I’m grateful for it.
On Aug. 15, I went to the ER with an explosive headache.
After I watched Jaws, Jaws 2 and was midway through Jaws 3 from a hospital bed, a doctor told me I have an aneurysm. The only thing I knew about aneurysms was one killed Nate in the show “6 Feet Under.”
The next few days were awful:
• Repeat "I could die now" thoughts.
• Family trip to a theme park, canceled. "No roller coasters."
• Everyone forbidding me to do anything strenuous.
• Explaining to my kids what to do if daddy falls over and is unresponsive.
• Building a 9 page death document for my wife, telling her who to involve to handle things like shutting down my company, paying final taxes, getting contractors paid, etc. I had several of my best friends agree to help her if something happened to me (your real ones show up).
• Death, death, death.
Then a 2nd radiologist confirmed the read.
I was overcome with emotion, realizing if something happens to me my youngest daughter would have very few memories of me.
I also realized I had regrets.
I am not done yet. I have more to prove, give, and more experiences I wanted to create. I have more fish to catch, mountains to bike, hugs to give & laughs to release.
Over the last year, after shutting down a company, I thought I was living better, but this whole thing made me realize I had work to do.
As I processed the diagnosis, I started to flip my mindset. I was going to be OK, and this wasn't going to define me. A weird sense of gratitude settled in as I realizing this had changed my life maybe for the better.
My mortality felt more definitive, even if most aneurysms don’t rupture.
My time on this earth was short, aneurysm or not.
I needed to really focus on LIVING, not dying.
Sept. 24, I met with Dr. Yao, one of the best neurologists in the region. He walked in and immediately said “you don’t need to worry about this.”
If it was an aneurysm, I'd be fine. But he didn’t think it was an aneurysm at all.
He thought I was just “wired differently.”
On Nov. 6, I went in for an angiogram to see if Yao’s prediction was right (it's a procedure with some light anesthesia).
He was.
No aneurysm.
I am really am just wired different.
If I had one, I don’t know if I would have told anyone. I struggle to deal with pity.
But I share this on gratitude week because I am focused on being more present and I'd bet you should do the same. This is a public challenge for myself, too. I hope to continue harnessing this experience, remembering that life can turn on a dime.
Hug your kids, wife, parents, siblings & friends this week. Slow down. Be aware of how good you got it.
I’m done putting stuff off. I drove 3 hours to ride some mountain bike trails I kept thinking “I’ll have to do that next year.” I’m planning my first trip to Costa Rica for an epic fishing trip. And I’m really focusing on my family and being present.
I encourage you: Do the same.

Hunter Sute was on fire in Sunday’s doubleheader, torching UMBC pitching for a 6-for-8 day at the plate. He racked up four RBIs, including a two-run blast and a clutch double late in game two. Meet a certified problem at the plate 👀
