I'm glad you're here. I'll do my best to make the visit worthwhile.

As Dad, I want to provide sound advice in a world that has a lot of really bad advice. My goal is to help you build confidence in your own decision-making and help you navigate some of the situations that don't seem to be clear.

​

Both in practice and in theory, a Dad doesn't always get it right on the first try, but I try to consult my principles in coming to a conclusion. In math, there is a right answer and there is a wrong answer. In social interactions, things are often less straightforward. Part of what a Dad should offer is a safe place to sound things out. 

​

The good news is, I've lived a lot of life, and I won't just tell you what I think you should do; I'll show you how I arrive at my conclusions, making every effort to model good citizenship along the way. In a perfect world, the process of mentoring is not just, "Here's the answer!" but a conversation seasoned with questions that will help you arrive at your conclusion. As Dad, I will try to anticipate your concerns and show the way. To make the conversation happen, I'd like to answer your specific questions too, not just the ones I think you're likely to have.
