Q: What’s the story behind this photo?
A: This is a photo of my then-fiance and I, Jessica, my wife, in New York City in 2014. Boy. I was probably 30 pounds heavier. Just met my fiance before kids. So, life was a lot more simple. We did a lot of traveling back then.
Q: If you could go back in time to that day, what would you tell your younger self?
A: If I could go back in time, I would tell myself that life is about to get a lot more interesting. Maybe, not have two kids 17 months apart. To space them out better would be a lot easier.
Q: What might people be surprised to learn about your younger self?
A: I didn't like to exercise as much back then.
