We all have things in life that take us back to those childhood moments with vegetables. You don’t like the taste, look, or smell of them, but you know they’re good for you. And so, you take your helping and get them out of the way. (Or maybe you’re like me, and you still have […]

Up until now, my favorite running shoe was the first gen Altra Escalante Racer. So while patiently waiting for the third gen, I decided to try out the regular Escalante 4s. I got a pair of the Escalante 3s a couple years ago, and they weren’t bad, but I didn’t love them with the puffy

If I was asked “What gear is essential to start running?”, the answer is simple. Clothes that are comfortable and don’t chafe, and a solid pair of running shoes that help your body and form stay consistently correct.

I’m pretty open minded when it comes to seafood. (I’ll try everything once.) However, I don’t like it to taste too fishy AND I want it as fresh as possible. Whether I’m traveling or trying a new sushi restaurant with my wife, I’m willing to eat new types of fish and dishes. Whether you douse

I moved last year and now the closest climbing gym is 45 minutes away. (Quite a bit compared to the 20 minutes before the move.) Even the closest outdoor climbing spot is an hour away. Safe to say I haven’t been able to climb as much as I want. Not climbing most days has taken

For over three years, the Altra Escalante Racers are still my favorite pair of daily runners. I tried the second generation and noted how much more refined and mature they’d become. But I didn’t like them as much as the first gen. Trying the Altra Solstice XT 3s, I was curious to see how they

How simple of a person are you? Or would you consider yourself a little extra? Whether you’re more basic or extravagant, we all start our style with the same basic pieces. A shirt and bottoms. As a basic dresser, I don’t like to accessorize. I just want a shirt and pants/shorts that I can do
