It is with great sadness that I share that our colleague Matt Kauffman lost his wife, Candace Espinal Kauffman, suddenly this past weekend.

We are all so sad to hear this heartbreaking news. He has a 1 year old daughter Avery and a new cold start practice. Our classmate, Darcy Seaton, generously started a gofundme page to help him during this time.

If you are able to donate, please do, if not, please keep him and his family in your prayers. Thank you
