This is the start of something good. Don’t you agree?

I don’t remember ever being asked what I wanted to be when I grow up. I do remember thinking I wanted to be an astronaut. That was until I watched “Space Camp” and realized a boy who occasionally vomits when riding in the back of a station wagon going 60mph wouldn’t cut it as an astronaut being hurtled 18,000mph into space. So much for the final frontier.

Regardless of what I wanted to be when I was a kid or what I am now, I know my so-called creative juices are flowing.  In fact, they’ve been somewhat simmering for awhile and this blog, among other things, is a direct result of my need for a more creative outlet than what I’ve been spending my time on the past 11 years. Outside of playing rhythm guitar in an acoustic R&B band called “Ask for Megan” back in 2005-2006, my right-brained self has been relatively dormant for the most part.

paternalstyle.com combines my love of being a father and other interests that help me to become a better father. A lot of things I’ll be writing or making videos about will often focus on an area in a dad’s life that we sometimes overlook or don’t put as much thought into as we should; from the clothes we wear, the haircuts we get, personal hygiene, and diet and exercise to the activities we do with our kids, family projects, and date nights with our wives/significant others.

Please stay tuned because I truly believe this is the start of something good…
