Too soon?

Life has taken so many crazy turns for me in the past few years. Soldier, YouTuber, designer, developer, teacher, public speaker, c-suite positions... all of them a result of pursuing my passions and overcoming adversity. You can do ANYTHING you put your mind to. Stay driven!

My wife and I are at dinner together. She looks at her phone. A grimace, “You didn’t like my post today...” I’m staring right at her across the table, “No, I did like it.” She’s not satisfied, “No, you didn’t LIKE it.” I’m still staring at her, “I’M TELLING YOU I LIKE IT!!!”

There is a saddening amount of truth here.

The kids always get their face painted for #Fiesta — love their choices this year!

So, I have a confession. More and more as I get older, I've become increasingly interested in mobile gaming. I blame my kids – they've shown me that accessibility will always far outweigh graphics in future generations. They will gravitate toward a phone or tablet instinctually.

I'll be trying to show them how cool my monster gaming PC is, and how awesome the power of it is. 5 minutes later, they're playing Roblox on their iPad with a huge smile on their face.

I'm just gonna say it... Call of Duty: Mobile is a huge step in the right direction for mobile gaming.

Every good Soldier had their days as a soup-sandwich private. Just found proof of mine... my NCO took this picture right before he smoked me. Can you spot why?
