My kids are my inspiration, I've been a stay-at-home dad for over four years now. Prior to that, I served as an operations chief in the U.S Navy. After 20 years of active duty I retired and traded my badge in for slinging dirty diapers and adventuring with my two kids. I thought, I could handle anything until I found out I was going to be a dad, and soon realized nothing can truly prepare you for parenting. My goal is now to help you connect with your child through nature, life skills, and the great outdoors.
