National Caregiver Month

With November being National Caregiver Month, I wanted to say thank you to everyone out there helping people like me. I especially want to thank my wife Meg for the unwavering support. I can’t imagine this journey without you! While all caregivers may do similar tasks, what they mean to the people they care forContinue reading “National Caregiver Month”

Adventure: Orcas Isalnd

Meg was lucky enough to score another assisting gig up in the San Juan Islands, and this time there was enough time and space for me and Tuck to tag along (thanks to Catherine and Michael Abegg for giving us the room to stay in!). The weekend was absolutely amazing, even though I managed toContinue reading “Adventure: Orcas Isalnd”

Overheated

If you’re battling MS, there’s a good chance you already know that summer heat is a bummer. Personally, when I start to get overheated my optic neuritis gets worse, causing me to lose vision — or even get double vision. It’s not that the heat is causing new lesions; it just makes lesions you alreadyContinue reading “Overheated”

Momentum Magazine

Hey, look, it’s Wheels & Red on the cover of Momentum Magazine! This issue focuses on disability and desire, which is a cringeworthy yet very important subject for so many people. Meg and I have always been very honest about our relationship and share our struggles openly. We understand as much as anyone that it’sContinue reading “Momentum Magazine”

When you gotta go

Where’s the restroom? There are so many symptoms with MS, that a bunch of them often get glanced over. The one that has been the most active for me lately is incontinence. The opposite of constipation, incontinence is where your bladder is going to empty NOW; with as little notice as possible. I never thoughtContinue reading “When you gotta go”

The Ink Master

October 23, 2013 I was scrolling through my twitter feed when I saw that Oliver Peck was in town hangin’ with his buddy Mike Herrera. I totally sent him a fan girl tweet about being in my hometown. I was stoked when he invited me to join them at one of the rad local bars. My awesomeContinue reading “The Ink Master”

Beach with the pups

The pups and I headed down to our neighborhood beach front the other day and had some fun playing fetch. Mollie is all about that water…as long as it ain’t in a bathtub. When i’m at the beach I can’t help but look around for some treasure. All I found was a blue hardhat andContinue reading “Beach with the pups”
