Describe your perfect Father's Day.
Playing a round of golf with my dad and twin boys. They are a little young now but I hope to do that in the near future.
What is the best Father's Day gift you've received?
My twin boys! They were born about 2.5 weeks after Father's Day in 2019, and I've been blessed with that gift every day since.
How has being a father changed your life?
It is one of the most important jobs I've ever had in my entire life, yet the rewards and joys outweigh the challenges of parenting, so it never really feels like a job.
Do you have a favorite Father's Day restaurant?
I would say a steakhouse like Killen's or Del Frisco's. However, I truly enjoy grilling steaks or BBQ'ing with my father and father-in-law.

What do you hope your family has planned for you this Father's Day?
I really enjoy a big breakfast on the weekends. Maybe an Astros game. The perfect fathers day is one with happy kids, very few plans, and no fuss. I just enjoy my girls being around.
Do you have a favorite Father's Day restaurant?
Easy, Guido's. My dad and grandfather both loved that place, and I do too.
What is the best Father's Day gift you've received?
When the girls were little, maybe 3 or 4, I was going away on a trip for a few days just after fathers day. They put together an activity book for me to take along so I wouldn't get bored. It included puzzles, small little poems they created, pictures to color, along with crayons and other things like that. I love it because they took the time to make it, and it was full of things they enjoyed. Very cute. I still have it in my closet.

How has being a father changed your life?
