Time it Takes to Read: 

[read_time]

Time to update! I have missed a lot of posting on here. But first of all, Happy Belated Thanksgiving, Veteran’s Day, and new school year! Oi. I have been so busy with ModWay and FreedomSystem.org and little Kenny’s basketball, band, and school stuff that I have completely lost track of time to post something.

Quick Update

I have had surgery on my nose and soft palate and am still recovering. This surgery was back in October, so I am well on my way to recovery. I am not sure if it has worked yet, but I will tell you that I have noticed a lot of changes. I cannot tell you if I like them or not yet, but there definitely was a change. I could not eat anything solid for two weeks after the surgery, and that got old quickly, but nonetheless, a ton of mashed potatoes was consumed! Go figure! I go back next month for a follow-up. I hope to be released at that time to start working out again because this not working out thing is taking its toll on me.

ModWay Homes, LLC Update

ModWay Homes, LLC is doing well. We are moving and shaking and making this two-year-old company seem as if it is 20 years old! I am constantly working with Sarah, Adam, and Nick on how we can increase efficiency and improve processes. It’s a struggle, but it is a task that I enjoy between doing permits and drawings for the building departments. I love working with the contractors they are all really good people and just have the drive to be their own bosses, which makes things way easier on our end since they don’t have to be micro-managed! I’m not saying that this job has no challenges because that would be a lie, but overall it is a great position and easy to share with people what I do, unlike in the Army: “What do you do?” – blow stuff up!

Michiana Fan Shop Update

Holy cow, what a year for Michiana Fan Shop! The Michiana Fan Shop update is exciting! Being that the way we have it set up for now is that this is purely donated time! It definitely is teaching Sarah and me how to create and be a shirt shop! Between all the designs for Trinity Lutheran Church and School and the advantages of crushing it with all of this – Sarah and I are very excited! Make sure to stay tuned at some point on here for an announcement about future plans!

Fitness Goals

All my fitness goals have been put to the wayside until I am released from the doctor to work out some more. I am looking forward to getting back out and running and utilizing the elliptical again. Mountain biking may be done for the season, but I look forward to the next season of it and nice enough days in the winter to ride! Little Kenny wants to ride with his besties, and have him come with us! I am game for getting the boys out of the house, off the electronics, and back into the woods. Where I believe all boys belong at their age! In the woods and learning about and being able to survive!

Time

Welp! It’s time to wrap this up and ensure this update gets out! I have to wake up the boys and Addison so they can get ready for school. I must finish some permit information before heading out to meet a client with Adam! If you need anything, you can call me, text me, email me, or simply use my contact form!

Until next time:

Beyond Survival – Learning

Learning Importance to Veterans I didn’t set out to create a blog series on this topic. But after re-reading my last article, I realized something — this conversation is needed. The number of people who read it (or at least clicked on it) was higher than I expected....

What is Important to Veterans

I’ve got a question for you… and then a follow-up question. What is important? Why is it important to you? The answers to those questions will make immediate sense to some of you. To others, they’ll sound simple — maybe even obvious. But there’s a difference between...

Season 4: Episode 2: Civilians are Watching

Season 4: Episode 1: That’s Bullsh*t

We’re not starting Season 4 quietly. We’re not easing in with a polite “welcome back.” We’re kicking off 2026 with a full-throttle “that’s bullsh*t!” and we’re doing it the only way we know how — loud, honest, and unfiltered. Welcome to Common Veterans Season 4. This...
