Once again, I’ve had the privilege to attend the Bridge Conference in National Harbor, outside of Washington DC, and it’s been amazing. I absolutely love traveling – especially when I’m not footing the bill. The only sad part is, this year I’m alone. Katie has come

The most important person in Carson’s life is undoubtably Katie, his momma. As his father, I know that to be completely the truth. My wife is amazing. She cares for our son in a loving and patient way that I can’t begin to even understand or duplicate. That said, as a father,
