Thoughts on being “That Dad”

It has definitely been awhile since the last post. Ever since starting Grad School, I’ve been focusing way too much on my journey, and not on everyone’s journey around me. This includes my family.
This being said, I want to discuss a highlight of mine each week. I absolutely love taking our son to Tae Kwon [...]
PS: Don’t Forget The Pics
Today was my day with the kids. We’ll, Benny had preschool until 1:30. Ever have a day where the kids are not cooperative with what you want? This was it for me. Naps…not a chance. Siblings cracking siblings on the head with a light saber…yep. Badminton racquet in Delaney’s face? yep…it was an accident, [...]
Inspiring At Any Age
So I follow a photographer named Chase Jarvis. Check him out, his work is amazing. Aside from still photography, he creates documentaries & films.

I’m on a constant journey as a photographer…always trying to improve my craft through reading, experimentation, or simply taking note of [...]
1 Surefire Way To Feel Good Today
How did you choose what you are doing for a living. Is it just a job, where you can’t wait for the weekend? or are you engaged in a vocation…which actually has a meaning closely rooted to a “calling”. Is there a disconnect or congruency with what you do, as compared to what you would [...]
Does Your Path Need Paving
On the way to work this morning I saw an interesting sign painted on the back of a pickup truck, which read “The road to success is always under construction”. It was certainly clever… given that the truck was owned by a construction company.
The more I thought about that sign, the more relevant it became. [...]
