The US Open’s behind us which means summer golf season is kicking into full swing.

Among the ways to connect with our fathers, I’d argue golf is far and away the best.

After months of planning, practicing, and camper renovations, my wife Brittany and I (along with our dog, Ella, and cat, Penelope) finally embarked on our cross-country voyage on January 3rd.

The year of 2015 has certainly been one of big change. In May, I left the financial industry to pursue my dream of playing professional golf. I’ve spent the last 5 months working to elevate my golf game, putting in countless hours of practice and competing in tournaments throughout the summer as an amateur. The end goal, of course,…
Read more hereCharming Charleston: Exploring the Historic City
To say I’m slightly partial to Charleston, South Carolina may be an understatement. Since moving to the Southern US, Charleston has served as the destination of choice for frequent weekend getaways for Brittany and me.
