Dad Diaries

Dad Diaries





Becoming a dad is easily the best thing that’s ever happened to me. My daughter, Ava, and son, Riggs, bring so much joy into my life—it’s honestly hard to explain. I love our beach days and outdoor adventures. I have a blast playing sports with them in the backyard. Some of my favorite moments are just goofing around and doing life together. I try to show up with love, patience and A LOT of positive energy. One of the biggest things I hope to teach them is how to find real joy in life—how to live with excitement, gratitude, and heart. More than anything, I want them to always know how deeply they’re loved. If they remember one thing about me, I hope it’s that I loved the sh*t out of them and had the absolute best time being their dad.

This job takes me on amazing adventures around the world, often with my family by my side. As we explore new places, there are moments I wish I could freeze, and those experiences are special. But honestly, the best part of being a dad happens in the simplest moments. It’s those lazy weekends at home, just hanging out in our apartment, watching movies, and cooking dinner together. My greatest memories are made with my wife, Hillary, and our two boys, Hayes and August. It’s those everyday moments that fill me with happiness and remind me of what truly matters in life.
