After 15 years as a News Photographer in the fast paced world of television news, I am now knee deep in Legos and laundry as the stay at home dad to to little boys. It was my choice to stay at home, so don't look at me like I am some kid of freak show. We're all parents just trying to raise our kids the right way. Some might be better at it than others, but if our kids love us for who we are, who cares.

Legos are expensive. My family has spent thousands of dollars on these little plastic playsets. I love them, but most importantly my kids love them. Since my son got a fire station for his third birthday our collection has grown and grown and grown. I can’t even tell how many complete sets we have, but [...]
We recently celebrated the fact that an active pro athlete in one of the four major sports in the United States announced that he was gay. All through the sports world athletes resoundingly welcomed the news and congratulated Jason Collins for doing something he had no reason to do in the first place. I don’t [...]
Ever since winter broke and spring arrived in my neighborhood there has been a bird attacking my house. At first it went after my wife’s car and completely scratched up the paint job. I think he saw something that looked like worms inside (it was a scarf), so I removed it and he proceeded to [...]
I have the worst memory. My wife and I joke that I have no recollection of anything before the invention of the Digital camera, and it’s totally true. There are things that happened only a couple of years ago that my wife will remind me of and I have to run down to my computer [...]
I honestly thought my son was dying. Two hours out to sea on a luxury cruise liner headed for the Bahamas and our lives were being turned upside down. My son was turning blue and seizing right on my lap and we had no idea what was going on. Something like this had never happened [...]
“Daddy, you going to shoot the ball?” I got lost in the moment for a little bit. Standing in my garage watching my youngest son Carter miss shot after shot on his new basketball hoop, my head started to fill with thoughts of how I could become a better parent. CLANK! Too often I get [...]
I would like to say that this is a story about how I taught my son to pick the teams in his NCAA Tournament bracket, but it’s not. The simple rule that I have every year is to pick Syracuse. I can honestly say that since I started picking the winner probably sometime around 12 [...]
I am not anything special. If you were to look at the parenting hierarchy, right now stay at home dads (SAHDs) are at the top of the list. It seems to be all that anyone is talking about anymore. It’s as if we are the first people on Earth that are doing what we are [...]
My kids really are amazing. It amazes me that one could have been blessed with all the athletic ability in the world, while the other has no sports bone in his body. One could have the gift of being an amazing artist while the other can’t draw the most basic of stick figures. One, learning [...]
I was told a long time ago that the best way to get a video history of your kids is to record them once a week for about a minute. I know that we all take our cameras everywhere that we go, but do we actually sit down and watch any of it? The answer [...]
