I had a writing presence online at www.thestatmanspeaks.com since July of 2011. I was a high school football statistician and I shared my thoughts on the games I worked, along with photos and stats.
When Nina (my wife) and I announced to the world on October 31, 2015, that we were pregnant (she was, I just helped a little bit), I started writing about it on www.thedadspeaks.com.
In 2023, I started sharing book reviews on www.bookmarkdad.com.
In 2025, I moved everything from thestatmanspeaks.com and bookmarkdad.com to www.thedadspeaks.com. One site for everything. So, you will see more posts and tags.
If you come across any bad links, let me know so I can deal with them.
I don’t have a journalism degree, but I do have a BBA from the University of Texas at San Antonio and an MBA from Western Governors University.
I have self-published three Amazon e-books, and am proud of that accomplishment. I sold a few copies and even got some reviews.
It’s funny, because words, topics, and ideas hit me at awkward times. I could be in the bathroom, driving somewhere, walking around the house, reading a book, eating dinner, taking a shower, or getting ready for sleepy time.
Do I get writers block? Of course, I do! How do I remedy it? I will either bounce ideas off my wife, take a break, or do something else.
I write because I can. I write because I like it. I write because it makes me feel good. I write because I like to express myself in words rather than by my voice. I write because it keeps me out of trouble. I write about topics that I am knowledgeable on and topics that mean something to me. Most importantly, I write for you.
My writing style is unique, and it captures my personality. I don’t get embarrassed, and I have a crazy sense of humor.
