Out of all the millions of websites you could have chosen to visit today, you chose mine, and I truly thank you.

My roles and responsibilities keep life wonderfully busy. Day to day, I am a:

  • Husband and father

  • Son

  • Part-time newspaper reporter

  • STEM education professional managing an 8-state territory supporting educators

  • Fill-in preacher

Beyond those (is that it?), I am a reader, an avid baseball fan, and—most importantly—a work in progress. Out of my love for the game, I decided to create Achieving My Base. It’s a daily reminder that as we walk this Earth, we should all be striving to attain something greater: our ultimate "Home Base" in Heaven, which can only be reached through following God’s revealed word.

In baseball, the goal is always to get home, but you have to navigate everything that happens between first and third. To help document that journey, this website focuses on three specific areas:

💬 Sayings From My Kids

Kids have a unique way of looking at the world, often mixing complete innocence with accidental wisdom. This is a collection of the funniest, sweetest, and most profound things my kids say as we navigate growing up together.

📖 Scripture Reflections

Deep dives and periodic thoughts on God’s Word. As a fill-in preacher, deacon, and imperfect individual, my goal is to share insights that encourage us all to stay on the narrow path as we head for home.

🏟️ Stadium Reviews

While baseball will always be my favorite—and I'm on a mission to get to all the MLB stadiums—my love for sports takes me to other arenas and venues, too. I’ll be sharing my experiences, the atmosphere, and the unique stories found in stadiums and ballparks across the country.

Once again, thank you for stopping by. I invite you to check back from time to time as I "run the bases" of life, and I'd love for you to join the journey.
