Hello everyone!

I wanted to be more involved with my son’s life as he was growing up so I created this YouTube channel to create memories as we go…

However I also wanted to great a group of people who are dads who want to be more outdoors with their kids too. So I created a Skool community it’s FREE.

I would love for you and anybody you know who would to join me as a father and get more outdoors and away from screens.

Where dads go to raise sons the right way” or keep it simple: “Get outside. Raise them right.”
