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. I already had a writing presence online at www.thestatmanspeaks.com since July of 2011. See, I was a high school football statistician and I shared my thoughts on the games I worked, along with photos and stats.
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.
I am currently employed by HealthEquity, Inc. as the Treasury Manager – Unclaimed Property.
