I am a father of two beautiful children; Micah and Chloe, but I am more than just a father. I am a Christian, a husband, a PhD student in Archaeology at Yale, a climber, a cyclist, and a Wyoming native (the land of 307). All those things are what makes ‘me’- ‘me’. I have found though, that in order to be a good father I must continue to be ‘me’. But how do I do all that? By being a good father, am I being a good husband? How do I find time to study when all I want to do is climb or wrestle with my son? Am I a good Christian role model? There are no right answers to these questions there is only my life, and that is what I present to you.

Nice to finally meet a goat that I won’t be soon eating. Of course I only have 2 more weeks until I push off for Mongolia so it will be back on the menu soon.
