Fatherhood, freefall, and finding solid ground.
I’ve learned to skydive, survived war, PTSD, depression, and co-parenting — and none of that holds a candle to stepping on a LEGO barefoot at 3 a.m.
I’m Clay — veteran, skydiver, photographer, full-time dad, part-time mess.
With Spock the Doberman as my security detail and my son as the commanding officer of this operation, I’m navigating the wild terrain of fatherhood and healing one messy day at a time.
Courage to Jump is for the ones who fall hard, love harder, and get back up — even if they have to duct-tape their soul together first.
