Our Story

Mom – the heart of ClickPrint3D.

At the heart of ClickPrint3D is Mom—the strongest, kindest soul we’ve ever known. In November 2024, we lost her to stage 4 glioblastoma. She was only 60 years old. Reaching that milestone meant everything to her—especially after losing both of her parents at age 59 when she was in her 20's, just like I am today. Her life was marked by unimaginable adversity, but you’d never know it from the way she loved life.

Her story, and ours, started long before her diagnosis.

Mom's entire world revolved around her three kids: Jesse, Jenna, and Jordan. She poured everything she had into raising us with strength, independence, and the tools to carry on, no matter what. Our family carries a genetic condition called ADPKD. Mom and many others in our family needed kidney transplants. She received hers during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic—an incredibly scary time for someone immunocompromised.

In 2022, I married the love of my life, Sydni—and I’ve never seen Mom so free, so happy, so fully herself. It was as if the weight of the world lifted for a moment. We are endlessly grateful for that memory—made possible by an organ donor, whose selfless gift gave us more time with her.

Just as we began to feel we had overcome the hardest parts—surviving the transplant, COVID — we were blindsided by her cancer diagnosis. Glioblastoma. Stage 4. Just eight months, thats all we had. In that short time, we crammed in all the love and joy we could: trips to the beach, a Yankees game, her big suprise 60th birthday party, and even the joy of telling her she was going to be a grandma.

She passed in November 2024, surrounded by those who mattered most to her. Saying goodbye was the hardest thing we’ve ever had to do.

Then came another hit. Not even four months later, I lost my job due to changes in the federal government—my career, my security, gone. My mom’s words echoed louder than ever: “I love you from the bottom of my heart and always wish the best for you. May your days be filled with fun, joy, love and new adventures. Dont sweat the small stuff -- it is unimportant. You have your whole life ahead of you -- stop and smell the roses. xoxo Love, Mom”

So that’s what I did.

I turned to what I loved—creating. I bought a 3D printer to help with a hobby project, and soon I was designing models and printing every day. It clicked—literally. That’s when ClickPrint3D was born.

This business is more than just 3D printing. It’s about resilience, family, and legacy. It’s about building a stable future for my wife, my daughter, and whatever else life brings. And if we’re blessed with success, I pledge to give back—to support the PKD Foundation and fund glioblastoma research, in honor of the woman who gave us everything.

This is for you, Mom.
