- About Me:
- I am a homeschooling dad of four kids ages 9, 7, 3, & 1 years old (they're in my video). I am also a 'mid-husband'; in other words, I assisted my wife with the birth of all our children at home. Yes, you read that right. We had all our children at home; it is unassisted birthing or what I call 'intimate birthing'. The simple theory behind 'intimate birthing' being this: if you aren't completely comfortable with people being present during the conception, then the intimacy should be maintained for the 'reception' of the baby.
I have a financial services practice where I assist families and businesses with their risk management, college and retirement savings. I meet with clients and discover what is most important to them, both personally and professionally; it is an intimate relationship built on trust. So, I guess you could say that on a daily basis, I help people handle financial vehicles which have replaced the tontines of old. This career choice allows me to make my own schedule, tele-commute as needed and spend as much time with my family as possible.
I've always had an adventuresome spirit and an affinity for nature, thriving in a crowd and in the outdoors. As a kid I was always outdoors or playing sports. I started wrestling in 2nd grade and continued through high school; along with football or soccer, baseball, and tennis which I play to this day.
I was the underage suburban preppie kid in the downtown over-21 punk club; solo or with friends, there for the music not the drinking. I was a 'frat boy' who challenged that stereotype, and after college I lived in the Big Apple for years (my daughter loves to say she was born in Brooklyn). Choosing to follow my vision over money; I worked in community radio as a news reporter where I met my wife. I knew her voice before meeting her face-to-face.
Since having children, we’ve decided to live in a rural setting in California where our boys were born, along with a few sheep and goats.
I am a two-time graduate of the Outward Bound School and NOLS (The National Outdoor Leadership School) where I learned first hand how to lead a group through a rough, but beautiful environment.
I learned kayak and whitewater rescue at the Nantahala Outdoor Center and I am a certified lifeguard with full CPR training.
I am often asked, because of the way we chose to deliver our children, if I am a doctor. No, I am not; however, I think my second calling might be as a Natural Healer, Acupuncturist or the like. But I am happy being a 'Mid-Husband' and a father.
I eat cooked food, but prefer to eat raw as much as possible, including meat.

Does look like tartare, but tastier. You eat raw yang?
Interesting that to prepare it, it's rinsed in salt water to remove the smell, but not to remove the microlife.
...and I think your family is beautiful.
ps your kids are beautiful
hehe, you're funny
I don't know what brought me to your page but my heart is so full now. I'm in shock of the beauty of your family an your amazing photography eye as well as you being a mid-husband. That is amazing and I love to hear it because Drs. make everyone feel like its a medical condition and you need to be scared of birth. G-d bless you and your family some more. Please make me a friend if you'd like. I would like it!
Love,
Mia
