Emma joined me for this workout. She did her own program but she was there to cheer her daddy on. I love when our kids workout with Ana and I. They enjoy it very much and are always proud of their workouts, how sweaty they got, and how strong...

This past weekend, Ana and I attended a marriage conference at our church. We have been married one month shy of twelve years, and at this point in our lives, most of our problems get solved by having something to eat and a good nap. We are in love...

A few days ago, my son Cole and I went fishing for the first time. Few traditions between father and son are more revered than the boy’s first attempt at providing sustenance. It has been a historic rite of passage for generations of sons who while staring tentatively yet...

I was the skinny kid growing up. I started lifting weights in high school to pack on size and ate everything I could lay my hands on. Every bodybuilding magazine I read back then preached heavy training for big muscles and light training for definition, so I went “heavy”...

Ana and I married in 2012 after more than four years of dating. We had both endured previous marriages that failed miserably, and we needed time to heal and grow. There was no pressure from her or me to rush things along. We just enjoyed our time together without...
