★ Wanted for Graduating ★
After 13 years of school, football, clubs, extracurriculars, academia, and dates — and more snack runs than we can count — our two boys are walking the stage. Come help us send them off in style.
Jack started at Estero as a freshman with a couple of buddies from Three Oaks Junior High. After a few years off team sports, he tried out for football — and his confidence built game by game. End of junior year he met Eva, and right around the same time he picked up a guitar. Both have been hard to put down ever since (Eva slightly outranks the guitar; he did buy her one too, so they could play together).
Senior year his football coach pulled him into track for shot put and javelin. He works as a food runner at Duffy's in Estero, doesn't miss a Wednesday or Sunday at church, and is usually drawing on his notecards. His mentor Brady has shown up to most of his track meets — sometimes ahead of Luke.
Up next: a local state school in the fall, then UCF Orlando in the spring with Eva. He's eyeing engineering or something math-adjacent, and curious about getting hands-on with AI tools before he hits the workforce.
Callan stacked his last two years with dual enrollment at FSW, so he's heading to the University of Florida this fall already two years deep — and pumped about it. He works at the local movie theater alongside his buddy Matt, where he's befriended Daniel, the unofficial guardian of the icy soda straws. Beyond the day job, he's in DECA, Red Cross, and Solar Car Club (yes, they actually build a solar car from scratch and take it to competitions).
His weekends are vintage stores, vinyl, and concerts — he's seen Oasis in the UK, Jack White, Bright Eyes, Tyler the Creator, Ringo Starr, and just snagged tickets to see Geese in Asheville. He's quietly building his own guitar (a kit Matt got him) and would happily become a luthier on the side.
Up next: Gainesville. He'll be 90 minutes from his sister Mia in Orlando, and within striking distance of Jack and Eva at UCF — the whole crew clusters around I-75 next year.
The party kicks off at 3:00 PM and runs late. Drop in anytime, stay as long as you'd like.
Parking at the house is tight, so we're running a golf-cart shuttle from a designated lot on Gladiolus Drive to the front door — both directions, all night.
Park on Gladiolus, hop the shuttle. We'll have a sign at the parking spot. Exact pin will be posted here a week before the party.
Listed by distance from the house. Booking links below — block codes coming soon for a few of these.
RSW (Southwest Florida International) is the closest airport — about 20 minutes from the house.
Please respond by Friday, May 22, 2026 so we can lock in the BBQ headcount.
Truly — please don't feel any pressure to bring or send anything. Y'all showing up is the gift. That said, if you'd like to slip the boys a little cash for the road, here are their handles. No worries either way.
Western-casual is encouraged but not required. Bring your boots, your hats, your bandanas — but a t-shirt and jeans is great too. It's Florida in May, so dress for warm weather (mid-80s, possibly humid).
Absolutely. Mechanical bull, horseshoes, and plenty of room to run. Just include them in your RSVP headcount so we plan food right.
Park on Gladiolus Drive (look for our sign). We'll run a golf-cart shuttle to and from the house all night so you don't have to walk. Exact parking pin will be posted here a week before the party.
Sadly no — both schools cap the number of tickets each graduate gets, and we don't have extras. The party at the house on Saturday is the joint celebration and is open to everyone we love.
We have covered space for the food and the Graduation Station. The mechanical bull is rain-or-shine. We're rodeo people — a little Florida thunder doesn't slow us down.
Yes — just include them in your RSVP count.
Totally. Come for an hour, stay until close — your call.
