It was an emotional day for our family on Friday because Ocean graduated from high school. She is the last of our three children to graduate from the Tashkent International School. Nadia and I were a mess all weekend as we were a mix of emotions. We were proud of Ocean completing her K-12 education, realizing that next school year we will be “empty nesters”, and sad that our parents weren’t here to see her graduate. Because Ocean is in the Class of 2026 with 42 students, we know most of them closely. It was a beautiful ceremony on our campus and a fitting way to say goodbye to Ocean and her friends and classmates.
Nadia was looking beautiful as ever, and Ocean should be thankful for Nadia’s DNA. I am a lucky man to have two such gorgeous women in my life! Owen, Oliver, and Uncle Jack watched the live stream on YouTube. I would like to thank my colleagues Jeanette, Smita, Rob, and Stefania for their work in creating an elegant and touching ceremony. As you can see below, during our time here in Tashkent, all three of our children graduated from high school at Tashkent International School.



We will spend the final month wrapping up the school year and packing our house. This time of year is always very busy for educators.
