Some moments mean more than records.
This one means everything.
I officially broke a Guinness World Records title with my 9-year-old son Jeremy and it was his very first Guinness World Records certificate with his name on it. And honestly, it’s one of my favorite records I’ve ever been part of.
Jeremy’s journey with Guinness World Records started long before he could even walk… or see. Back in 2015, when I broke my very first Guinness World Records title, he was still growing in my wife’s belly. Since then, he’s watched me grow, train, fail, succeed, and break nearly 400 Guinness World Records titles.
If you know Jeremy, you know he wants to be just like Dad.
He races around the house trying to put on socks as fast as possible.
He challenges himself to throw on 10 T-shirts in record time.
He’ll grab chopsticks and try to hit targets right alongside me.
He doesn’t just watch records, they’re a part of everyday life.
When Jeremy was five years old, we even trained and broke a record together: the fastest time to push a stroller 10 meters in a 10 m shuttle run. He worked incredibly hard, and he was a huge part of that achievement. But officially, it was a one-person record, so his name didn’t appear on the certificate.
Even so, that certificate hangs proudly in his room.
But today… that changes.
We set out to break a two-person Guinness World Records title:
Fastest time to make a sandwich by a team of two (blindfolded/no hands).
The setup was simple but the challenge was intense.
I stood behind Jeremy, blindfolded, with my hands underneath his arms.
He became my eyes telling me exactly where everything was, guiding every movement. Together, we worked as one unit.
We practiced.
We adjusted.
We went through several loaves of bread.
And then came the run.
The previous record stood at 40.17 seconds.
We stopped the clock at 36.5 seconds.
A new Guinness World Records title.
The finished product?
A ham, cheese, and butter sandwich with tomatoes, and yes, the official taste tester loved it.
But the real win wasn’t the time.
It was seeing Jeremy’s name on that certificate.
Seeing his confidence.
Seeing his pride.
Seeing him realize that he’s officially a Guinness World Record holder.
He is amazing, and I’ve always known that.
This record isn’t just about speed, teamwork, or breaking limits.
It’s about legacy, family, and passing on the belief that with hard work, creativity, and heart… anything is possible.
And this?
This is one record I’ll cherish forever.
