Few people look back and read my blogs. Fewer still read them as much as I do. They’re a way to look back at the years and see the way life has changed, with me holding along for the ride. I hope someday I’ll look back at this blog and slap myself on the back […]
This afternoon, I had the opportunity to sit and meet with one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time – Ronnie Coleman, 8x Mr. Olympia champion. I met with him to discuss a project I’ve been working on over the last few years (Trident Motorcycles) and it was an incredible opportunity to sit with him, […]
This week, I remember falling asleep with Atlas in my arms. Holding him closely, I had a thought hit me that halted me. “Did my Dad love me the way I love Atlas?” I thought. I thought of the way I love Atlas, and how much I adore everything about him, watching him grow up, […]
2022 was one helluva year, to say the least. A lot of incredible things happened in my life, as well as some things that were less-than incredible. Looking back at the year, I think it was one of the most pivotal and important years I’ve had as a hue-man being. In a lot of ways, […]

Years ago, I remember hearing a story from a good friend of mine. He told me the tale of “Sheepdogs and Wolves” which was originally told via an online essay. The summary of the tale is that there are three types of people in the world; sheep, wolves who prey on the sheep and sheepdogs […]
In the book of Ecclesiastes, the preacher begins with the infamous line: “Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity…” All is vanity. The above quote is from the KJV, while the NIV uses the word ‘meaningless’ in lieu of vanity. Words simply aren’t interchangeable any more than colors on the […]
When I was a teenager, I remember stumbling across my first Marilyn Manson music video. Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes featured the rocker screaming out words I had never dreamed possible of hearing, given my upbringing in a conservative christian home. Kill your god… Kill your god… Kill your god… Kill your…TV At the time, I didn’t […]
Over the years, I’ve come to appreciate a few things in life. I mean, really appreciate things. In my world, few things beat a good story, cup of coffee, heartfelt hug or giving something away to a person who needs it more than I do. Many years ago, I was one of the only people I knew […]
