Get lost in the adventure of parenting
My life and career has revolved around sports. Specifically, aging out of certain activities and watching the younger generation take over.

With the holidays around the corner I wanted to put this one out there. A few years ago we were at the international motorcycle show in Long Beach Ca. I like to take the kids to car shows and bike shows. It gives them an appreciation of the custom market and fosters their creativity. The…
Well… we made it home. I was able to salvage a trip to Arizona by rushing home in time to set up the christmas tree and prep mine and Jen’s costumes for a night of trick or treating in California. The kids had tested their costumes in Utah but Alex had a spare costume ready…
The air was cold and had a certain bite to it. I managed to crack my eyelids for brief moment before being assaulted by the tiny humans sleeping in the make shift beds next to me. The kids love Utah and visiting the grandparents. Even though our plan for the day was pretty much set,…

One of the highlights of being a parent is doing anything for the first time. The first sleep over, the first sporting event, the first beer… Ok, maybe I’m not quite there yet with the first beer. However, I was able to be there for the first sleep over with my son Josh and his…
