Time it Takes to Read: 

[read_time]

I get so sucked into my work, my family, and my life that I often forget to post on here! Now that my wife and daughter are on a girl’s trip, my boys and I are here and doing our own thing! Well, at least till dinner! So here is my update on me!

Truth Social

I have been posting on my Truth account little quips and nuggets of inspiration from yours truly! I am looking forward to an auto poster from Truth to here, it’ll happen someday! But if you can give me a follow!

Freelance Again

Well, I’m freelance again; only taking quick jobs. If you need something let me know! I have also been toying with the idea of doing a photo shoot of a group of people for some stock photography- I need some stock photos for a project that I am doing for FreedomSystem.org … I am wanting to do another photo shoot of “combat” simulation as well. Maybe you know someone who’d like to collaborate. Let me know!

FreedomSystem.org Benefit Dinner

Speaking of FreedomSystem- the “Remember” benefit was amazing! We had a lot of fun and Casey Hendrickson was spot on! It was such a great event! Thank you everyone for helping make that event a success! FreedomSystem was able to raise and are able to start looking for a brick-and-mortar front to host all of our events and classes. This is a mission to make happen!

Update On Me: Goals

And speaking of goals, I have a few new goals for this year (wanna hold me accountable?):

  • Going to lose 30 lbs by the end of the year (I’ll start a blog thread for this)
  • 200 miles on the mountain bike this year
  • Redo my front page of my website to reinvent my web design life
  • Partner with 5 Star Life to help kids and Veterans alike
  • Create a stock photo reserve (that I created) for myself to have for websites, graphic design, and nonprofits
  • Play a few more games with friends and family!

The Past is Past on to the Future

Blue Byte and I have parted ways, I believe amicably, and are on our own paths! I look forward to collaborations in the future, but for now, the main career focus is on ModWay Homes.

Well, that about sums it all up in a nutshell! Questions, comments, let me know!

PEACE.

Season 4: Episode 6: The Stuff We Don’t Diagnose

The Stuff We Don’t Diagnose is a conversation about the weight people carry when life does not fit neatly into a label. In this episode of Common Veterans, we sit…

Service is Sacrifice

Leaving the military doesn’t mean leaving behind the need to serve. For many Veterans, the loss of purpose isn’t about the job—it’s about the sacrifice, the camaraderie, and the identity…

Season 4: Episode3: The Translation Lie

Introduction One of the most common pieces of advice Veterans hear during transition is simple: “Translate your MOS.” The idea sounds reasonable. Replace acronyms with civilian terminology. Turn missions into projects. Convert leadership into management language. Take...

The History of United States Military Challenge Coins

History Small enough to fit in the palm of a hand, challenge coins carry a surprising amount of meaning. Within the United States military, these coins represent recognition, belonging, and shared experience. They are often presented quietly — sometimes by a commander...

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

Movies, television, and social media have created familiar images of Veterans — the unstoppable warrior, the haunted survivor, or the flawless patriot. While often meant to honor service, these portrayals can quietly shape how civilians view and interact with Veterans...

Anxiety of Everyday Life

Understanding Anxiety in the Life of Veterans Anxiety in the scheme and life of things comes in many different forms and changes within the confines and communities of military Veterans. Soldiering is not a minimal commitment- there are soldiers that deserve and earn...

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...

    There was a well-known, 20th venture business guru named Peter Drucker who famously stated, “You can’t manage what you don’t measure.” While I don’t fully subscribe to this on the business front, it’s probably true for your first goal bullet. When you stop choosing ignorance about what you consume, you can make better choices. Get a good app like MyFitnessPal and track everything that goes in your mouth. That alone will get you 20 of your 30 pounds. Love you, brother.

    Absolutely brother! I have been slow to go back to MyFitness Pal, but it is on my goal list. What sucks is I started this and then I got this odd lethargy over me. I think it Is finally gone, but I have been doing my best to limit the amount of food going in my gullet at any given time, and also to eat more during the day. One of the things that I keep being told consistently is that I do not eat enough. It seems like an odd thing. However; more calories consumed during the day while active equals more calories burned (?)… It’s an odd thing the body! I appreciate the support, thanks and love to you and the family!!
