I am deeply remorseful for my actions on Tuesday night.

I behaved in a manner I am not proud of. I have been dealing with some personal challenges over the last several months, but that is not an excuse for how I acted.

The importance of mental and emotional health is extremely real and I vow to get the help I need. I appreciate all of the people who have reached out in support of me and my family, including our community here in Seattle.

I am grateful to have such an amazing wife, family, and support system to learn on during this time.
