🍫 The Candy Bar Rule In our house, we have a simple rule: If you're splitting a candy bar or a bag of M&Ms, the person who does the splitting lets the other person choose their half. It’s our way of encouraging fairness. And let me tell you—when you’re raising twin boys, this rule gets tested a lot. Sometimes the Hershey bar breaks unevenly. Sometimes one pile of Skittles looks just a little more colorful. And when it’s time to choose, one twin always goes for the bigger half. It’s made me think: When you’re the one choosing, do you take the bigger half or the smaller one? Is there a right answer? Or just a reflection of how we see fairness, generosity, and self-worth? In a world where it can feel like some have more than others, I’ve become more sensitive to what it means to be fair—and how we teach that to our kids. I feel confident in how I’ve responded to my twins. But I’d love to hear from you: 👉 Which half would you choose—and why? 👉 What advice would you give me as a dad trying to raise fair, generous, and self-aware young adults? #Leadership #Parenting #Values #Fairness #LifeLessons

My daughter made a surprise visit over the lunch break! We ate our bananas and decided to review her Roth IRA! It was pretty fun talking about her future goals…and TikTok videos.

To my friends in nonprofit work — this one’s for you. For years, I worked in the nonprofit world of outdoor ministry. Purpose-driven work, full hearts, lean budgets, and a belief that what we did mattered. But here’s the thing: During that time, I had no idea that the skills I was building — listening deeply, casting vision, building trust, walking with people in real-life moments — would translate perfectly into a career I never expected: financial advising with Thrivent. When I first heard about becoming a Thrivent advisor, I rolled my eyes and thought, “I’m not a finance guy.” But it turns out, this career isn’t about numbers — it’s about people. We get to: Help people make confident, values-based decisions with their money Support families and communities in times of transition Maintain the balance I always craved between work and family Still make a meaningful impact — just in a different (and deeply needed) way If you’re in nonprofit leadership today, and even slightly curious about a new chapter that still aligns with your purpose… Let’s talk. No pressure. Just a real conversation about what this path could look like for someone like you. Send me a note or comment below — I’d be honored to share more. #CareerChange #NonprofitLife #LiveGenerously #Thrivent #MeaningfulWork #BismarckCareers
