Building a life worth coming home to.

The Life is about everyone who counts on you. Marriage, fatherhood, family, money, and starting over. It’s the daily work of being a husband to Katie and a dad to Chris and Ollie, in a house that’s loud in the best way, with three dogs underfoot.

It’s also about the big swings. We packed up our life near Buffalo and moved our family to the Grand Strand in South Carolina. We lost Opie, our German Shepherd and my best friend. Life keeps handing us things we didn’t plan for, and the goal isn’t to be perfect. It’s to keep showing up.

What you’ll find here

What’s working in our marriage and what isn’t, the dad lessons I’m still learning, and the honest side of money, moving, and building something new together.
