Stay at home dad by choice

The end of June would have marked the 2 year anniversary since my departure from my last job. While I did not initially think I would go this long without a job, if I could go back in time, I would not change a thing. I spent the 7 years prior working in education and non-profits, most notably, teach for America. The two years before that were spent as an IT consultant with IBM and US Customs.

The last 2 years, afforded me the opportunity to spend irreplaceable time with my now two-year-old son. Most people have to send their kids to daycare and only spend a couple hours with them a day before it is off to bed to repeat it all again the next day. 

Many people have asked why I didn't just take any job. I can thank my wonderful wife for supporting me on my journey of overcoming anxiety, depression, and rediscovering who I was and what I liked to do.  While my journey is by no means complete, I can honestly say I have never been happier and more at peace with who I am. 

The purpose of this blog is to take you along my journey as a father, husband, fitness enthusiast, craft beer lover, and all of the other weird things that make me who I am. Remember, I Don't Fit In Boxes.
