Whenever possible I try to have my daughter participate with me on something I’m working on that might be simple like in this case. Replacing brake lights, I can show, explain, have her understand how things can be fixed (so she doesn’t get robbed on in repairs if I’m not nearby) and teach her how to do some do it yourself fix things. #dadswithdaughters #workingoncarswithdad #garages #girlswithtools #fathersmatter (at New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0e0EjwB7pF/?igshid=8ky4aab2tju7

It’s a very very busy weekend. A few months ago I started picking up some @ninelineapparel T-shirt’s to upgrade some very old T-shirt’s in my closet. They are very patriot and “veteran friendly”. I don’t get anything out of saying this but I know I have very patriotic friends here so if you feel so moved check them out. @tyler.m160 @zacscalf #ninelineapparel #tshirts #patriotic #usa #usmarines #usnavy #usairforce #usarmy #eddiegallager #veterans #saunderson #usflag https://www.instagram.com/p/B0dq7zwhQwX/?igshid=2kw89gl74o8c

My daughter finished college orientation. . I knew months ago this would be a busy time. . We’ve been busy getting the graduation party schedule worked out. . Needless to say thanks for hanging in there. . I was waiting to pick my kid up and my kid passed by the parking lot as I was waiting for her to come from a lecture to go pick up her things from an overnight stay. . #gradparty #collegeorientation #colleges #gradszn #july2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Z75lfh2ci/?igshid=9td8nvwd32yu

It’s not a picture from Father’s Day because we spent the day together but to be honest neither of us are really naturally photogenic. - This is a picture though from last summer when we woke up really early made our way to #NYC visited World Trade Center (my first since I served during 9/11) Ellis Island and @yankees game - What many people don’t know is my father is a veteran, his father was a veteran and so I’m sure 9/11 memorial was an experience to share with him. . #fathersandsons #throwitback #nyc #yankeesgame #grandcentralstationnyc #worldtradecentermemorial #generationsofvets #tagfriends (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/By2hcabB2yf/?igshid=1f7222is5uben

When you’re a dad and your daughter goes to a football game with you and asks dad let’s make silly faces.. you make silly faces and follow their lead. .

We used to do goofy things when I drove. . We would jam out and then do the wave and point to the people at the others parked at the stop light and see if people would reciprocate the dance moves, or karaoke or make goofy faces. . Good times. . #throwitbackthursday #fathersanddaughters #carkaraoke #smilesmile #dodgecharger — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2RgRQUo

Throwback Thursday . Dads teach your daughters the importance of lifting w weights. . Not to be intimidated by others in the gym. . This was a few years ago myself and my daughter. . Fatherhood and especially being a single father raising a daughter doesn’t come with a manual. You just do the best you can and you just hope for the best in the end. . Happy Fathers Day for the other Fathers out there this weekend. . #throwitback #fathersday2019 #dadswithdaughters #teachfitness — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2Zo0va5

I’ve had these and a tens unit but haven’t been as great as I should and I think it’s gotta be a regular practice. I did it this morning and it’s helped. - The foam rolling stick is nice for cross back or upper shoulders or if you want someone to roll your arms. - And I didn’t do it for the longest time bc in part I may have prejudged that it wasn’t what guys did. However, if Marine Recon/MarSoc Raiders and Athletes talk about foam rolling then why not you? - #trainsmarter #foamrolling #mobilitytraining #injuryprevention #functionalrangeconditioning #softtissuetherapy #mobilitytraining #usmcprep #preformbetter #doyoulift — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2I9GiPG

🚨 Fail Alert 🚨 - I recently got one of the @jobyinc and my phone was falling out when I got it to stay then my watch camera ⏱ and the phone timer wouldn’t sync. That’s what I get trying to document haha. - This morning I got in about 1.5 miles maybe in 30 min of “sprints” what we can say are my version of sprints at this point. Chest day and some beginner moves on @trxtraining I also used it to stretch out back.. - Because I’m trying to build up endurance so I can train workout lots of injury pain I’m going to try to get in some indoor bike for about 30-60 min later tonight. - Do you have a @myfitnesspal @trxtraining or @jobyinc or use @everlast heavybag as a cardio? Drop your MyFitnessPal in the comments I’ll follow you. If you use @trxtraining or @everlast let’s talk and if you use @jobyinc your help is greatly appreciated. Power Rack a long time ago @_fitnessreality got on @amazon @jimstoppani Bands on the left — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2I1zEuB

Trx is setup and I’ve got to put in the work. - If I was to document my journey of getting fitter using a home gym would that be interesting at all. - I didn’t get here over night and the journey back is going to take time. - — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2WKXCTf

I have a few extra injuries than some. - For every problem there’s s solution. - If this helps me train and improve while not making an injury worse then it’s a good thing in my book. - I’m going to keep trying to improve. - Are you? — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2WJhKFq

As most of you know, I already served in the @marines & yeah I have a decent amount of injuries from my time in. - I ordered @trxtraining before the holiday so I know that’s affecting shipping but it’s taking longer than I expected but here’s why I’m trying and adding TRX to my home gym. - 1 it’s recommended in this book USMC Prep by @joshhonsberger & @nickkoumalatsos two good people Former Recon and MarSoc Raiders and TRX was made by a Seal. That’s badass company. 2. Joint and injury pain and focusing on goals. If there are training exercises I can do without adding to injury pain it’ll help keep me focused and on track (I hope). - If you’ve tried @trxtraining or read USMC or Any of @joshhonsberger @nickkoumalatsos drop a comment and let me know your experiences. — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2QCZb0c

Received my @johnnyslicks Beast Wash Original Scent today. - I might joke hard with some veterans but I put my money and support behind them as I am able. Vet owned businesses and good causes I try to support. - If you have a beard, a body try @johnnyslicks if you want to check some other next level stuff check @nickkoumalatsos & shoot me a dm I have others I’ll share. - — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2EKGwun

Wayback Wednesday post. - Walter Reed Army Medical Center hallway. Down East Feast Event. Serving Lobster, Steaks, Burgers to the severely wounded Military. - I was born here as my father was serving in the US AF at the time. Like I have said I come from a long line of people who have served and for me helping fellow military and veterans comes as easy and comfortable as you helping someone like a somewhat distant cousin or extended family member sort of. - It may seem odd but Helping others is sort of therapeutic and no matter how much I try to give more value I always seem to learn more in the end. — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2Wvlj1K
