Previous Article I'm a father. It isn't just my life any more. I don't want my kid finding bottles in the house or seeing his father completely smashed.
Next Article I never had a speech from my father 'this is what you must do or shouldn't do' but I just learned to be led by example. My father wasn't perfect.
1 My dad was good friends with the Bad Medicine Blues Band – one of the only blues bands in Fargo as you can imagine! He took me out to see them play when I was 12 years old and I was really inspired by their guitar player Ted Larsen.
2 My dad was a good athlete. My mom had longevity. There were some athletic genes that certainly got passed down.

4 I've always had an affinity for lawyers. My dad is a lawyer. He's retired now. My brother is a lawyer.
