"Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example, not his advice."
True intelligence comes from being patient and accepting of others. Being from a South Eastern state much of my family and many families around me growing up were not very open-minded.

Day one back from a quick trip to Kansas City with the family! Thought it only right to start the week off right with a before the sun comes up workout! Was not easy getting out of bed at 4:15 AM but I must be honest it was easier than getting up at 5:30 or... Continue Reading →
So I have always been a bit of a exercise junkie. I have tried just about everything that peaks my interest such as just standard gym going (weightlifting and cardio), Crossfit for about three straight years, running…ugh, some martial arts training, boxing classes, and even one triathlon. I have always enjoyed changing things up and... Continue Reading →
We flew out to Kansas City for a family wedding and found that the area is beautiful and the city has lots to do and see! My son, Lincoln, who is 18 months old is quite a crazy handful at this age but is tons of fun to watch. My wife found a place called... Continue Reading →
