Over the weekend my family and I had the opportunity to spend time together at a youth retreat up in Prescott, AZ. The pastor they brought in did a phenomenal job telling an insightful story of David and Goliath. He spent less time on the battle itself and more on […]

Eternal Exercise
This coming March will be an anniversary of sorts for me. It will mark my 31st year of working out. This may sound trivial to many if not all of you. I mean, it sounds kind of ridiculous to remember the time when you first started lifting weights. Only a […]
Bridging the Gap
I am entering my eighth year as a minor league coach for the San Francisco Giants. In my first three seasons our Major League team won two World Series and the organization rewarded all the staff members with championship rings. In my seven seasons coaching in the Arizona Rookie League […]
Are You Living Life Like a Sponge?
This past weekend I had the opportunity to hang out with 70 men up in Cave Creek, AZ for a retreat. The organization is called UPI (Unlimited Potential Incorporated) and most of the guys are current or former professional baseball players. We encourage each other and talk about our struggles […]

Last night our family lounged in the living room and watched the classic movie “Home Alone”. This was the first time Connor and Bryce had seen it and of course they were laughing hysterically when the two cat burglars were getting their buts kicked left and right by an 8 […]
We Are In This Together
Life can be hard if we try to do everything on our own. I have owned a business for 12 years and I know first-hand how difficult things get when I do not put people in place to help me. God created us in his image and believe it or […]
Thermostat or Thermometer
Let’s face it, life can be difficult and sometimes things that happen to you, downright suck. Yeah, I said it. I mean this blog is made for men so let’s just put on our big boy pants and get real with each other. We deal with stuff every day and […]
