Welcome to the party! Thank you for taking your valuable time to stop by. Please grab a drink out of the fridge and relax while I do my best to entertain.

I am an incredibly lucky guy. I have a beautiful loving wife, an adorable daughter and son, a needy coonhound, and more great friends than I deserve. I have been struck with the lucky ability to opt-out of punching a time clock and instead take on the wonderful job of caring for my kids. So on this small piece of “Internet Real Estate” I will shed some light on my family’s little world.

So now that you have your drink, sit back and enjoy thumbing through the pages of our Untrained Life.

Cheers,

Ron
