the RIDGE
the RIDGE, the street we live on, is reference to home. This blog is to capture our world with my wife Hanna, our three kids and our late dog PJ.
and BEYOND
and BEYOND is reference to the little and big adventures that we take. Below are two maps, one for domestic and one for international (including Hawaii). The pins have associated links to corresponding blog posts. Let me know if you have any questions about any of our adventures…
The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.

the LINKS
Golf and golf course architecture has always been a passion of mine. Around 2015 I started rating golf courses for Golf Digest and wanted to capture a list of courses I have played along with the stories they created.
