Get lost in the adventure of parenting
Every year my wife forces me to compare myself to a number of ideal hallmark families. For those of you looking for the classics, here is my top 10 Christmas movies to watch every year. #10: Die Hard Nakatomi Plaza is taken over by terrorists while a rogue cop must save the day and his…
When I was a kid my dad would get really excited about the most random things. I remember him waking my brother and I up at 2am, throwing us in the car and driving for what seemed like an eternity to the middle of the desert. If I hadn’t been so young I probably would…
I was recently discussing property values in Brian Head Utah with my neighbor. I had recently purchased a plot of land near the ski resort and was trying to convince him to buy some land too. Surprisingly he was up for considering the idea. However, he decided against it due to the drive time. Living…
Motorcycles are a great way to set your kids up to be “tough”. They encourage motor skill development, mental fortitude, and perseverance with a sense of adventure. There are few things left in life that offer kids that sense of freedom and danger we all experienced growing up. This year I decided to upgrade from…

Thankfully, there are a handful of campgrounds a short drive from the LA/OC area that allow for one to feel like they escaped the city. Carpinteria is one of these so called “gems” of a campground. Getting There Leaving Huntington…
The recent addition of a membership to the whiskey club, Flaviar, has been an interesting journey. Most people opt for a wine club but I wanted to try something different. Flaviar seemed like a decent selection of whiskeys and gave a pretty good education on flavor profiles, history, and the ability to custom order stuff…
