I have to admit, I have always been the antithesis of a regularly scheduled, daily routined individual. I spent half a decade touring the world and playing music – waking up in a new city every day, no real plans or commitments unless it was on our daily schedule sheet or booked
I feel like Halloween always brings out my guilty pleasures. As it should. Halloween encompasses all that is dark and spooky, but most important is the level of enthusiasm that spools up throughout the entire month of October. This time is filled with pipe dreams of that perfectly brilliant costume, invites to
It’s been hot in Los Angeles. And not, like, “I just don’t want to go outside” hot. It’s been a hot that feels like the core of the earth is slowly eating through the surface and melting us from the inside. This “heat wave” just so happened to coincide with my commitment
It’s been quite a whirlwind in our home as the summer of 2017 winds down. Fox has started preschool, work is picking up, travel is planned, and it seems like days and weeks are just flying by before I even notice them. In my head, it still feels like July, not like

There are few things in life that I love more than football season. The passion, the energy, the strategy, and most of all, the spirit of enjoying your favorite team as they battle it out every Sunday (or Monday, or Thursday, or sometimes Saturday). I played football throughout high school and love
I have a sweet tooth. I always have. But I also try to stay conscious about my health and believe that a true balance and simplicity is one of the most important aspects to a happy and healthy life. As I’ve mentioned before, I moved my wife and son to the heart
