Lance Jacobs
I have been happily married to the love of my life and my dream girl for 10 years. We have 2 children ages 8 and 6.
I work in Army Special Operations which means frequent time away from my family and moves every few years. We try to make the most of it and live life as an adventure.
My goals are to serve God first, be a great husband and father second and to retire young and spend my time helping non-profits and Christian charities.
I am trying to work my way through fatherhood by Gods grace and I am archiving my trek on my blog at www.legacydad.com it is my little guidebook and adventures in fatherhood.
