Excited to announce that I’ll be appearing on another Comic-Con panel this year. And this time I’m moderating it too! Come listen to and engage with a group of Mensans with a penchant for #comics and #storytelling. Our discussion will be about Detective Comics.

“From uncovering the psychology behind iconic characters to exploring the evolution of detective tropes, this panel offers a unique perspective on the art of deduction in comic book storytelling, presenting an engaging and insightful discussion that will leave you seeing your favorite heroes and villains in a whole new light. Moderated by Nevin Millan,(writer, producer, actor), with panelists Raymond Brown (writer, lawyer), Ben Clark (streamer, comic enthusiast), Rob Lubow (AI researcher, comics enthusiast), and Jenny Grant Rankin, Ph.D. (professor, writer).”

Looking forward to seeing you there:
Friday July 26 @ 7:30pm (PST)
Room 24ABC

Went to the @la.rams.nfl #NFLdraft experience in #HermosaBeach with the kiddos. Really fun!
.
I know as a St. Louis sports fan, I’m supposed to loathe the Rams, but letting that go for now and enjoying the moment 😎😉. The skills field they built on the beach was a blast! If you’re in the area, swing on by 🏈🙌🏽👍🏽🔥 @nfl @nfldraft #nfl #dadlife #fatherhood #adventureswithdad #sports #football

Last weekend I checked off a goal from my bucket list - Run a #HalfMarathon! 🙌🏽💥
.
Why? Well, aside from my commitment to #health and #wellness, it’s something I’ve wanted to do for over 30 years. I was never a long distance runner. I was a sprinter and jumper in high school track & field. So, pushing myself physically and mentally to do a half-marathon was a challenge I wanted to take on. But injuries, timing, and eventually knees that couldn’t hang anymore by my late 20s made that dream slip away. So, I gave up the running for more low impact cardio and longer distance hiking.
.
However, almost 20 years later, 12 years of being vegan, 10 years of switching my running gait to a more barefoot style of running and my knee pain was mostly gone. Inspired by some friends, I started running longer distances again about a year ago. Ran a 5K, a few 10Ks, and I was able to take on this #GriffithParkHalfMarathon trail run (trail because it has better impact on knees than road).
.
Through rain, mud, doubts, pains, pulled my left hamstring pretty bad - I pushed through it all and finished. So grateful to be healthy enough to do one. I found the whole experience to be very cathartic and metaphorical for life. You may have a plan of how you want things to go, but undoubtedly life will throw you curveballs. How you react and respond to those bumps in the road, or trail, is what you have under your control. Learn & grow from them, and most importantly KEEP GOING! Sometimes you need a reminder that you have the perseverance, fortitude, tenacity, integrity, and commitment to achieve a goal. In a seemingly disposable society we toss out the “old” for the new shiny object - whether it’s things, discarding people, places, whatever - values are getting diluted in society. So, why run this race? I can promise you this - I learned more about myself in this race than I would have sitting on my butt watching a baking show marathon 😉🎉
.
Will I ever do a full marathon? I don’t know, probably not. This distance pushed me to the edge. But you never know. I may try a Triathlon and/or Ironman soon though! 💪🏽🌱

Had one of the best birthday weekends in recent memory last weekend! Smiled more than I have in a long time 😀 Filled with laughs, adventure, fun, reflection, so much gratitude for another solar return 🙏🏽✌🏽🙌🏽🔥 Thank you to my friends and family who made it special. Looking forward to more adventures this year and beyond 🤘🏽🍻

Last week our girl hit double digits… 10 years old, wow! She has been getting into Harry Potter lately and made it a goal to read all the books before her birthday so we could watch the first film the day of (we have a rule that if a book exists of a film adaptation, they need to read the book first before watching). And in 3 wks she knocked em out, even though we only asked her to read the 1st one 🤯 So proud of her and the love of reading she’s developed 📚 We did a Harry Potter themed little celebration before the movie. And I made her a blueberry pie, per her request (vegan, gluten free of course ☺️😉) So fun to share these amazing stories with her. @trebunskaya

Saw my brilliant friend Steve Sears perform in the musical #Matilda with @encoresouthbay directed by the phenomenal @realreneeoconnor last weekend. Wow, what a great performance, very impressed with the rest of the cast and whole production. Bravo! Congrats! 👏🏽🙌🏽🎭

Been meaning to upload this since early Dec ha! 🤷🏽‍♂️ My little elves and I made our annual #holiday #wreath. Re-used the same wooden form and some decorations (dried berries, pine cones, bells, etc), plus fresh berry branches found on a hike (on the ground), and fresh cut branches you can source every year from most #Xmas tree lots - just ask! Then used metal wire to hold it to the form, and finished it off with a strand of battery powered lights and the bells, it’s a really fun, #festive, and creative holiday project to work on with the kids. #holidayseason #wreathmaking #dadlife #familytime #christmas #happyholidays

Happy #WorldVeganDay! 🌱🙌🏽 #PlantBased liv

Happy #WorldVeganDay! 🌱🙌🏽 #PlantBased living can change your life and the lives of so many animals for the better. And contrary to some opinions, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Even making just a few more ethical and conscious changes can make a difference. If you’ve been thinking about a more veggie diet & lifestyle, try it incrementally if it seems daunting. Happy to answer any questions anyone has about it ✌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽

P.S. The painting in the 2nd photo is by Italian artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo in 1590 and depicts #Vertumnus, the Roman God of the seasons. But I thought it looked rad and apropos for representing #VeganLiving 😉🌱

Hope everyone had a safe and healthy #Halloween yesterday! My dream is one day we’ll all stop with the idolization of poisoned candy (ingredients are mostly all 🗑️), and switch to more #HealthyHalloween alternatives for these traditions. But for now I’ll start with dressing as an #avocado 🥑and preach on social media 🤷🏽‍♂️😂😉👻🎃💀 🦇 #GreenHalloween #Halloween2023 #dadlife #familytime #thesearethedays

Our #pumpkincarving #timelapse from this weekend. Tried a new technique I saw going around on socials, cutting the bottom open and cleaning from there. Worked great!
Amalya wanted her pumpkin to be happy, Kaspyan wanted his to have a “lightning bolt nose and T-Rex 🦖 teeth” haha. We tried!
And the big one is a Vampire Goblin 👹 named “Gronkey” because he kinda looks like a goofy donkey 😂

Finally made it to the pickets for the #SagAftraStrike yesterday on #Day102 🙌🏽 Great energy and community out there, standing for performer rights now and in the future. Important negotiations going on this week, hopefully there can be a resolution and #storytellers can get back to doing what we do. But until then, I’m #SagAftraStrong #unionstrong 💪🏽🙏🏽 @sagaftra

Our rad day at the @californiasciencecenter was such a blast 🚀! Can’t recommend enough the IMAX 3D documentary film about #BlueWhales 🐋 . It’s absolutely stunning visually yet so educational with important lessons to teach kids about these magnificent creatures that were almost lost due to the hubris of mankind. Love this place 🙏🏽🙌🏽🧬

#Latergram Fun weekend! Went on a really fun #hike

#Latergram Fun weekend! Went on a really fun #hike with the kids, so many overgrown flowers, it was kinda magical. If you’re anywhere near SoCal, it’s a great time for colorful hikes! .
The kids and I also had a little secret backstage action at a music festival, little league and softball games, and I even got to go see some friends in a fantastic theater production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. #GoodTimes #Busydad #dadlife #fatherhood #adventureswithdad #familyman #familytime #makingmemories #hiking #familyhike #outdoors #nature

We had our annual @cardinals game outing yesterday, and had a blast even though the team is struggling to win lately. Topped it off with another cool opportunity for the kids to run the bases after the game at #DodgerStadium! ⚾️🏟 These are the days of life that I’ll cherish. No matter what’s going on in the world, these bonding experiences with them are so special and I’m loving every moment.

Even though we were a bit under the weather this weekend, we loaded up on vitamins and had a great #Easter Sunday.
.
Started off with a fun #EasterEggHunt “special mission”. In each egg I put one puzzle piece 🧩. Once they found all the eggs, and puzzle pieces, they put the puzzle together… which revealed… a secret treasure map I drew on the back 🗺 I marked ‘X’ in several spots that led to clues which eventually led them to their prizes. They had so much fun sleuthing… and not a drop of sugary candy in sight 😉✌🏽💪🏽 #healthyliving
.
Went to a park for some photos and randomly ran into an Easter Bunny and a lovely group of musicians playing in the parking lot. Overall a great day! #GoodVibes 🎉🐰
