I share my thoughts on parenting from a stay-at-home dad trying to live fully but frugally in the Twin Cities.

About Me

Rev. Dave
New Brighton, Minnesota, United States
I'm a dad, educator, artist, and ordained minister. After Christ, my two boys are at the center of my life. I love to read, paint, write and "fiddle" around on my guitar. I can be a sci-fi nerd and a Hitchcock fan. I'm an outdoor enthusiast: a happy camper, hiker, and, when I get the opportunity, a kayaker.
