Ten years ago, I started StLouisDad.com as a fun idea—just a way to share my experiences as a dad and highlight the amazing things happening in and around St. Louis. I never imagined it would turn into such a rewarding journey, filled with incredible opportunities, connections, and lasting memories.

Over the past decade, I’ve had the honor of working with some truly fantastic businesses and organizations. From the Gateway Arch Foundation to Union Station, Disney on Ice, and so many more, these collaborations have given me the chance to experience and share so much of what makes St. Louis special. I’m beyond grateful for every partnership and opportunity that has come my way through this blog.

Perhaps even more rewarding than the opportunities, though, has been watching my children grow. When I started this blog, they were little, and so much of my writing centered around their adventures. Now, as they approach their teenage years, I find myself writing about them less, but my passion for sharing exciting events, activities, and experiences in St. Louis remains just as strong.

Like any long-running website, there have been challenges—looking at you, spam comments—but the positives far outweigh any of the minor annoyances. While many dad blogs have come and gone, I’m proud to say that StLouisDad.com is still going strong and doesn’t plan on expiring anytime soon.

As I reflect on the last 10 years, I can’t help but feel excited about what’s ahead. The St. Louis community is always evolving, and I hope to continue bringing fresh content, helpful insights, and entertaining stories for years to come. Whether you’ve been following since the early days or just recently discovered the blog, I sincerely appreciate every reader, comment, and shared post.

Here’s to another 10 years of StLouisDad.com! Thank you for being a part of the journey.

I'm a 40-year-old father blessed with two wonderful children: a 13-year-old daughter and a 10-year-old son. My life revolves around my beautiful wife, who is the cornerstone of our family. Without her unwavering support, none of what I do would be possible. By day, I serve as a network administrator for a local school district, ensuring smooth operations in the realm of technology. During the evenings, you'll often find me engrossed in various creative pursuits, from illustrating books to crafting websites or composing music. But above all, my priority is spending quality time with my kids. Parenthood has been a profound journey of growth and discovery for me, and now, armed with a keyboard instead of a pen, I'm eager to share my experiences and insights with others.
