Growing up I had a dream to play in the big leagues. By the time I was ten years old I had my entire life mapped out. I was going to make it to the show by 20, play until I was 40, and then buy a huge piece of […]

Embrace it Because You Can’t Erase it
Every January for the past six years I have attended a weekend men’s retreat put on by Unlimited Potential, Inc. This year it was held in Cave Creek, AZ, but in the past we always met up in Prescott, AZ at a campground. The unique thing about the campground is […]
A Belt Without Notches
Over the past 25 years a lot of things have happened in my life. Some great (becoming a husband and father) and some not so great (attending the funerals of my dad and two brothers). I have owned a business, dabbled in real estate, been worth millions (on paper) and […]
Leaving Your Mark
Last summer I went through a very difficult time physically. I was diagnosed with pneumonia in mid-May, but after 2 weeks I found out it was Valley Fever. For the next 8 weeks I struggled with fluid in my lungs and swelling in my joints. It was one of the […]

Are You Producing Good Fruit?
Last night my two sons and I got into a fight over a basketball game we were playing in the front yard. It was them versus me and first team to 50 wins. They were up the whole game, but then Dad started to close the gap and soon it […]
The Man in the Mirror
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 […]
