It was Sunday. The beach was empty. I went for a early morning swim and, in a spontaneous moment, decided to go skinny dipping in the ocean.
Two adults saw me from a distance and reported it. There was no lewd behavior, no harmful intent — just a lapse in judgment in a moment meant to be lighthearted and free.
What followed was a lesson in life and humilty: Time served before going to court. The judge dropped my charges contingent on attending a 3-hour class and paying a $100 fine — a result made possible by my clean record.
I take full responsibility. I’m not proud of it, but I’m not hiding from it either. This moment doesn’t define me or the values we hold — how we show up every day does. Lesson learned.
I’m grateful for the people who continue to bring integrity, focus, and purpose to our mission. That’s what matters. That’s what lasts. Thank you for your support and understanding.
With love & gratitude,
Aaron J. Nosbisch
