Who Doesn’t Love a Daddy Daughter Day?
Recently, mini me and I were able to head up to Raleigh for a day and hit a few golf balls at Drive Shack. We’ve been trying to get back there for a while, but with life’s curveballs, we’ve had to constantly push it back. But finally, a weekend freed up for us, so we […]

My Greatest Fear as A Father
I really couldn’t sleep well last night. It was weird. For some reason, this celebrity death hit different. I was super emotional all day after. As an athlete, specifically a basketball player, Kobe was one of the players everyone my generation wanted to play like (Either him or Jordan). He played hard and gave everything […]

Daddy’s Little Girl
The other night, I had the chance to take my daughter to a Daddy Daughter Dance, and even though mini me wasn’t feeling well, she toughed it out. I told her we didn’t have to go but she really wanted to, so we only stayed for a little while and we had a blast. About […]
