I consider my wife to be my best friend. We're a team that can conquer almost anything when we're on the same page. We've got a lot of shared experiences and stories and love spending time with each other. In many ways were are like Kirk and Spock from Star Trek, except with more romance. I'm gonna get in trouble for that reference aren't I?

“You hit like a girl!” he shouted. I was six and had just been insulted by Jake. He was a fellow student and resident cool guy in 1st grade. I wanted to be just like him. He was good at sports (gym class dodgeball), he liked rock music (his dad’s 60s records) and and the girls […]

Let’s get a few things straight. No doctor or nurse is going to get my child in an exam room and talk to them privately, until they are old enough to confidently take care of themselves.

Wallet. Keys. Phone. That’s all I used to need before leaving the house as a single man. I wouldn’t get locked out, be unable to buy a sandwich or call for help if my car (when I had one) broke down with these items.

Ho.ly. Crap. I’ve been a dad for over four months now! Recently I’ve been thinking about all of the things I expected from fatherhood and comparing it to what the reality has been for me. None of these things are too serious, but several are amusing. Enough so that I thought I should share of […]

Fatherhood is something I am still getting used to, but seems to fit me well. Being a dad is incredible. Every day I have the ability to build a stronger bond with my son. I have a million choices to make about where I spend my time. The effects of those choices will be life […]

I’m a social media strategist and a daddy blogger in Chicago, IL. Several weeks ago Google sent out a call via Twitter for people interested in the Google Glass. The idea was to tell Google why you wanted to be a #GlassExplorer for Project Glass and attaching the If I Had Glass hashtag. I thought […]
