My friend and college roommate, Jeff Caliguire (that’s not Jeff in the picture!), and I are working on a project to help husbands thrive at life…at work, with their wives and with their kids.

Do you panic? Feel overwhelmed? Worry? Get anxious? Are you filled with fear? Or dread? Or maybe […]

A week ago, we received word our daughter was going to be induced due to a low level of amniotic fluid, so we began the thousand mile drive to North Carolina.
