Love Creates — And The Story Continues

For decades, my wife Adrianne and I worked side by side to create Havencrest Castle—room by room, garden by garden, dream by dream. When she passed away, I wondered what meaning this place would have without her. But over time, I discovered something important: what we created together was not gone. It was still alive in the beauty around me, in the visitors who walked through these rooms, and in the work that still remained to be done. This video is about continuing the work. About honoring the past while building for the future. About the simple idea that love creates—and the story continues. In this episode, I share reflections from the Sculpture Salon, introduce a newly built spiral staircase leading to future rooms, and talk about the young people who have joined me in restoring, preserving, and expanding Havencrest for generations to come. Havencrest Castle is not a finished project. It is a living work of art—still growing, still welcoming, still creating. Thank you for being part of the journey.
