Writing, Photography, and the life lessons I learned from Street Academy
So during the blizzard earlier this week, I had some downtime – and decided to use that downtime to work on one of my photos for Competition Season 2017.

And let’s start our…
Read MoreJust wanted to give everybody an update on my mobility. I recently started moving away from the walking boot on my left leg, and am wearing my pre-surgery shoes more and more these days. In the next couple of weeks, I will be fitted with an orthotic for my left shoe, which should allow me…
Read MoreUp and at ’em, rise and shine, time to make this day a better day than yesterday. Right? Yeah, you know I’m right. And with that in mind, the best way to start off the day after hump day, the day once known as “Friday Eve,” is to check over some great blog posts from…
