About

Baba (noun) – Colloquial Arabic name for father.

I am a baba to 4 wonderful kids who inspire, teach, and test me every single day. I aspire to guide them to becoming kind, honest, righteous individuals who have the courage to be themselves and stand up for what they believe in. I love the outdoors. I have found tremendous peace and inspiration there and want to share its wonder with my family.

Indoors I am a stay at home programmer. Outdoors I am a hiker, backpacker, aspiring trad climber and ultra runner.

This purpose of this blog is to not only document my adventures in the outdoors and fatherhood for myself and my family, but to also share these experiences with folks and learn from the subsequent discussions.
