“HIS WISDOM GUIDES OUR LIVES. HIS PASSION, ACUMEN, AND INTELLIGENCE MOTIVATE US TO BE MORE LIKE HIM. HE IS A TRUE ‘WARRIOR-POET.’”
- Ben and Nick, sons of the author
What I Know (so far)
What I Know (so far) is a collection of perspectives, opinions, and observations I have previously dispensed to my children or contemplated on their behalf. As a seasoned, but ever-hopeful pragmatist dad, I’m not terribly confident they paid attention the first (second or third) times I’ve said them.
Sometimes/Oftentimes, I feel like the proverbial fallen tree in the woods. Did my children understand what I said? Did they even listen? Did I at least make a loud, discordant thud?
Ultimately, I view this book as a testament and as a gift to my children. They should know three things:
1) Dad was here.
2) Lead a good and well-lived life.
3) Abundantly and ten-to-the-nth-power tenfold, I love them.
I offer this on behalf of our shared hugs and smiles, and on behalf of the tears I have shed for them and with them.

“It is my opinion that the world would be a better place if people spent more time cultivating and maintaining intimate relationships. Too often we stand on the edge of the beach afraid of the water or worrying about getting sand between our toes. Have confidence in being a bit unsure of the temperature or what lies beneath your own vulnerability. There is risk, but the prize is the best feeling you can imagine.”
