Hi there!
Welcome to my blog, A Dad’s Compass. Writing has always been an outlet for me and as my young family continues to grow, I wanted somewhere to gather and share thoughts and experiences from my life as a husband and dad. Through the blog I’ll share my experiences, lessons learned, stories both fun and challenging, thoughts on growth, and values that I hope to lead my family with. The blog is in no way intended to say this way is the right way to lead as a husband and dad, rather just provide insight into a regular dad’s life and the situations that come up. I hope it gives folks, other dads in particular, something to relate to through laughter, similar experiences, and potentially pity. Ha!
In order to fully appreciate anything I write about, it’s important that you understand who I am, and who my family is. I am a 34 year old husband to Beth, and Dad to Carter. I’m also very lucky to be Dad to baby #2 who is a bun in the oven. #2 is set to debut in late December. I’m son to Steve and Linda, and brother to Nick. I also have some of the best extended family and in-laws around. I’m a Colorado boy at heart that now lives in the great Midwest. I’m a college grad and Army vet. I’ve experienced a lot in life, and none of it compares to the greatness that is being a husband and dad. My days begin with the sunrise and my two favorite smiles, and end with the best snuggles around. In between, it’s anyone’s guess what will happen.
It’s those in between moments and thoughts that I hope to capture here.
Thanks for tuning in! Please feel free to follow if you would like. My goal is to post often and as the hectic schedule allows. Sometimes a full story, sometimes just a thought.
Welcome to my compass. Now, which way to outside?
