My wife, Ashley, recently talked me into buying some P90X3 workout videos. I was reluctant at first, because I pictured myself hopping around the living room wearing leg warmers and spandex like the people in my Mom’s 1980’s workout videos. I’ve never looked good in spandex. I eventually made the purchase, but what really sold me is that I walked past the mirror one day with my shirt off and took an honest self-assement. I had to admit that I... Read more
I’ve never been much a financial investment expert. My idea of a good money investment is buying a $5 pizza from Little Caesar’s instead of a $10 pizza from Papa Johns. Five bucks saved and you still get full! Feel free to use that little secret. Even with my limited knowledge of stocks and bonds, there is one financial investing principle which has helped me shape the way I view investing into relationships. Any financial planner would tell you that... Read more
In his groundbreaking book, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” Stephen Covey identified the traits which consistently cause people to rise from mediocrity to excellence. The book revealed the timeless truth that our daily habits will be what determines the course of our lives. This idea might sound revolutionary, but it has been around for a long time. It was the Ancient Greek Philosopher Aritstotle who said, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act,... Read more

She sat in my office crying.

When our first child was born on April, 23, 2005, I was instantly in love with this precious little bundle of joy. Right from the beginning, I would have jumped in front of a truck to protect him, but even though I had plenty of love and good intentions, I was CLUELESS! I had no idea what it meant to be a good parent. Nearly a decade and two more kids later, Ashley and I are still doing our best... Read more
As you’ve probably already figured out, when God designed men and women, he made us different. I’m going to give you ladies a rare peek into the mind of a dude. Granted, we’re all unique, and I’m not trying to make broad generalizations that all men and all women fall into specific little categories, but as I’ve talked with men from all over the world, I’ve discovered that these four principles seem to consistently hold true. If you’re a woman... Read more
Today I had the privilege of sitting at the bedside of man who is nearing the end of his journey while holding the hand of the wife who has stood by his side for almost seven decades. After a lifetime of love and laughter, of trials and turmoils, of memories and milestones, it’s time for them to say “goodbye”. Being in that moment with these two extraordinary individuals was surreal. It reminded me that this moment will one day come... Read more
