- Guitar lessons, archery, read books, watch movies, go hiking, color, watch funny videos…everything!

- What have been the most memorable experiences that you have had thus far as a father?
- Every time I come home from work and my daughter runs from the other end of the house, yelling, “Daddy!” and jumps into my arms. And Daddy-Daughter dates are the best!
