About Me

I’m a 30-year-old father and husband living on a peninsula in Massachusetts. I have a beautiful son named Will, a gorgeous wife named MJ who is far too hot to have married me, a dog I love and two cats I put up with. I’m a smart-ass newspaper reporter with a penchant for turning a phrase and a sense of humor as dry as the Sahara.This blog is mainly about my life as a new dad, but I’m also prone to talk about marriage, sports, politics and pop culture. I’m a Boston sports fanatic and my hatred for all New York teams knows no bounds. I’m honest to a fault, prone to cross a few lines but simultaneously heartfelt and sincere. But whether I’m describing the time I manually pumped my wife’s breast while she was nursing or writing about how much my son enriches my life, the only promise I can make is I’ll update often and I can’t help but be passionate. Thanks for stopping by!

Then when I got married and became a father, her special days were obscured even more by the fact that Mother’s Day became mostly about MJ (and rightfully so). And unfortunately, since I’m pretty broke these days, I don’t have a [...] [...]

What to do About #2

I think it was something like 15 hours after Will was born that my grandmother called and wanted to know when we planned on having another one. She was kidding. Kind of. Not really. MJ and I always planned on having two kids.  Ideally they’d be about three years apart because we never wanted to [...] [...]

Old & Pervy

When I married MJ, one of the perks was gaining a whole new kick ass family. And since I never had a little sister, MJ’s cousins Shelby and Mackenzie slid into that role. Mackenzie has been off at college for a few years, but Shelby is 17 and getting ready to graduate high school so [...] [...]

Congratulations Nate!!!

It is with a happy heart that I get to announce that my brother Nate is engaged! That’s right, the keeper of the Daddy Files web site is off the market. He asked his wonderful girlfriend Melissa to marry him and she said yes this afternoon. My brother does all the upkeep on this site [...] [...]
