Tread Heavily
http://www.treadheavily.com
This blog is mainly about me and my life as the father of 4 kids. I put that first, because that really defines who I am at the core. Before I am anything else, I am a father and a husband. Sappy? I know it is, but my wife will read this, and as the father of 4 kids, I have to keep mamma happy.
Beyond that, this site is about my hobbies, my career, and the aspect of my career that I find most interesting. Social media, marketing, usability, and user interaction. On occasion, I will be throwing in some interesting reads I find here and there and will comment on entertainment, my religion, and current events.

Day 2: Lima Peru
Today we woke up in Lima, Peru and started our day with what they called an ‘American breakfast’ at the hotel. It was bread with butter and strawberry jam and scrambled eggs. During breakfast we had a few minutes to get to know each other...
