This Thanksgiving was slightly different from tradition. We decided to drive to Tybee Island Thanksgiving evening and spend a relaxing and not so scheduled long weekend (and by "we" I mean Rachel and me) at the beach. Thursday: we arrive during a full moon and her effects on the water were not lost on mother … Continue reading Tybee Island Thanksgiving
It's all about the experiences and the last week of July 2018 was one for the record books. We swam with a dolphin! Beach trips are somewhat the norm, but this one was extremely memorable. As usual we played putt-putt (I am the reigning family champ, never to be beaten), however Corban had 4 holes … Continue reading Swim with the Fishes
Spending one on one time with my children is my favorite thing in the world. My youngest daughter and I spent 3 hours, just the two of us, eating lunch, shopping, hanging out but more importantly, talking. We talked the entire time about life, school, and anything that came to her brain. It was wonderful. … Continue reading 3 Hours

Here is the Facebook post of my "Tide Pod Challenge"...at least watch until the 20-second mark before you call me a numbnuts … Continue reading Tide Pod Challenge
As a single dad I'm amazed at the accolades I receive for just being a dad. Like there is less of a parental expectation based on an "outie" beneath my waistline. I have four (4) children, we travel, we go out to eat and yes I have been known to shop, pick out clothes and … Continue reading We Love LA
Dad and twin 13-year-old daughters walk into a bar...ok, so it was a Saturday around 2:00 PM and the average age in attendance equated to posted speed limits on the interstate. Also, I wouldn't exactly call it a bar, think Wild Wing Cafe type cuisine with a stage. Fresh off the Guns N Roses tour, my … Continue reading Rock N Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution
Hey daddy, look, no seat belt.
