Our Marietta High School seniors have done everything right - they’ve walked our hallways as role models, student-athletes, and scholars. Last week was my chance to personally thank them for all they mean to our school and community. Again this year, I had the privilege of paying for

I have one deathly fear and phobia: snakes. I remain as terrified today as I was when I was 3yo. On a recent field trip, I was challenged to hold my fear, for the first time ever. I don’t care how much Reese enjoyed it…I’m never doing that again. Ever.

I hope this is just a phase. We hit 6th grade and all of a sudden my mini-me doesn’t want to be seen in public with her dad. And, equally relevant, she stopped calling me “daddy” - now I’m just “dad” 🤷🏼‍♂️ But yesterday was the exception (which I’m thinking is at least partially

Scenes from Senior Night. To my Class of 2025 seniors: thank you for being role models and leaders on and off the field. No doubt you will leave our beloved Marietta better than you found it. Our entire community is grateful đź’™ #besomebody

I offered to dress up - was told no. I also offered to sing along - was again told no. I’m trying to be cool but it’s not really working. So tonight I’ll just assume the role of Uber driver and merch buyer for the Billie Eilish concert #hitmehardandsofttour #girldad

Thank you, Kiwanis Club of Marietta. Your continued commitment and service to our community made it possible to “cut the ribbon” across 47 classrooms at Lockheed ES that are now outfitted with “comfort corners”. Comforting spaces for students to express their feelings and

Six years ago Lauren’s kindergarten teacher sent home a bag of reindeer food and so our Christmas Eve tradition began. Crawling out on the roof to leave food for Santa and his friends. I’ve likely got gutters full of carrots and Fruity Pebbles but at least the kids still play

When you win the “lunch with the superintendent” in the school’s silent auction, we start with the milkshakes! I was so grateful and honored to spend time with the Pike girls over Chick-fil-A meals (and milkshakes!) to support WestSideES 💙

Someone pinch me, as I had the thrill of being with Dr. Hollis Scarborough today! To me, she is the Michael Jordan of literacy!! For the last 20+ years, her research - “Scarborough’s Reading Rope” - has established the foundation for structured literacy in schools and classrooms

I am thankful for big sisters and elementary school dances. While mom was busy decorating a gym, Lauren saved me from experimenting on Reese’s hair and makeup for the dance. (And for the record, I could have done it…just not as well as a pre-teen who spends most of her waking

The kid doesn’t really believe me when I tell her I used to coach gymnastics and, perhaps even more shocking, that her ol’ man used to tumble in college. In the backyard last night I was trying to earn the respect of a skeptical preteen. Form looks good…as long as she is doing
