I'm pretty new to both the dad club and the golf club and I am stoked to be part of both! I have a young daughter who is about a year and a half old and she is one of the best things that ever happened to me. She is so much fun to hang out with, and I know life will keep getting more interesting as she is already super mischievous. I got into golf last June after my friends (and co-creators of Dad Sanity) asked me to golf with them because they were desperate for a fourth. I had some really old clubs I inherited and thought "Why not?" Well, they probably regret asking me to go now because I'm addicted and I'm the enabler in the group. At least, their partners probably regret it! I'm also a big tech nerd, a huge Star Wars fan, and used to spend a substantial amount of time playing video games, and while I don't play as much as I used to I've still managed to spread some democracy to the bugs and bot in HellDivers 2 with the boys. I'm a huge advocate for making sure you balance family responsibility with hobby time because dads with hobbies are the coolest dads. 😎 I look forward to getting more dad friends addicted to golf, until then, here is my favorite gif.

Like Justin, I'm really excited to help create this community for dads who are looking for ways to take care of themselves so they can be an even more present father. I have two boys, ages six and four. I have the misfortune of being divorced, and we have split custody. The six year old lives with me, and the four year old lives with his mother in Oklahoma. Though that will change in the near future, and I will have custody of both, it is extremely difficult only seeing my little guy every few months. I'm hoping this community can grow and become a place where we can help each other face life's challenges. As far as golf goes, I love it for many reasons. I get to spend time with good people in beautiful places, and it's a sport I can play that doesn't require running!

I’m thrilled to co-create this dad-centered community and connect with fellow golf enthusiasts and dads, dads-to-be, and even future dads. I'm a proud dad of three amazing kids, aged 7, 6, and 3, with our fourth child on the way in August. I am currently the Director of Project/Product Management and Quality Assurance with I.T. I am a veteran, proudly serving in the Air Force for 6 years as a Cryptologic Language Analyst. Golf is a big passion of mine, both watching and playing. Besides golf, I enjoy watching basketball, football, ice hockey, and tennis. I’m also working on staying committed to lifting weights regularly and eating a more balanced diet. I selfishly want to be the dad at the beach that all other dads envy! I often struggle with anxiety and depression, but I’m determined to master them. Recently, I’ve started hot/cold therapy and take multiple saunas each week, followed by cold showers, and it has been a mental health game-changer for me. Looking forward to connecting with all of you, sharing tips, stories, and maybe even a few rounds of golf!
