Proud (single) dad to 2 amazing kids! Weber State alumni. Movie enthusiast. Sports card collector. Sports nut. Love the Utah Jazz, Detroit Lions and SF Giants.
I’m very proud of my son Jackson today, and his decision to be baptized and confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!
It was an honor to get to baptize and confirm him! It’s a day that I’ll never forget!
Hey
@DwyaneWade
, just wondering if you can shed some light for all of us
@utahjazz
fans that have noticed that you don’t attend any of the games anymore. Just curious as to what changed. We miss seeing you there rooting our guys on!

The lady in front of me gave the cashier her food order, and was told it would be $6.66. She said “I don’t like that total. You’d better throw in a corn dog too.”
She’s an inspiration. She’s out here fighting off the powers of Satan with a corn dog as her weapon of choice.
Not a better story in the NFL out of the state of Utah this year than that of Puka Nacua!
He is now 4 receptions and 28 receiving yards away from breaking the all time rookie record in both those categories!
You love to see it!
Holy crap. I’m just feeling so depressed, lonely, hopeless and empty tonight. Don’t know why I’m even tweeting this out. I guess it’s just to let you all know, it’s okay to open up when you feel down and out. You shouldn’t be ashamed to share. Love you guys. Thanks for being you.
I just returned my kids to their mom. 2 years later and it’s still so dang hard to say bye to my kids each time. Particularly hard this time, after 17 days together. Gut wrenching. Hurts like Hell. I walked into my house that’s silent, moments before filled with love & laughter.
Twitter fam, I could use positive thoughts and prayers. My sweet grandpa is now on the verge of graduating from this earthly life and entering into the realms of eternal life in Heaven. 💔 😢
My 9 year old daughter Lily, who is on the spectrum, picked out my shoes for me to wear today! Thanks again
@spidadmitchell
for helping raise awareness and understanding for those on the autism spectrum.
2 years ago today, my divorce became official.
While it hasn’t been easy the past 2 years, I have begun to find myself again, love me again, value myself again & find my potential again, in ways I wasn’t able to in a broken marriage of 12.5 years.
I’m grateful for all of you!
I used to weigh 300 lbs. I currently weigh 161.4 lbs.
The purpose of my post is not to boast or brag, but to hopefully inspire someone out there in whatever personal goals they have in their life, whether it be physical, emotional, mental, educational, spiritual etc

Today was the 6 month anniversary of my divorce. Been a rough day. This Saturday will be one year exactly since she walked out on me. Keep hoping it will get easier and the future will be promising, but isn’t encouraging yet.
My ex has put me through absolute hell during the divorce process and after it was finished, over the past two years. Some real unforgivable crap. Today, I got a letter on behalf of the First Presidency, and my temple sealing is officially cancelled. Best news ever today!
@Joeingles7
As the father of a daughter who is autistic and made fun of at school for who she is, this story shatters my heart. This must stop. How many lives taken and lives effected daily by this must continue to occur for a change? It must end! And it must start with each of us.
Twitter fam, I could use positive thoughts and prayers. My sweet grandpa is now on the verge of graduating from this earthly life and entering into the realms of eternal life in Heaven. 💔 😢
Holy crap guys. I had a great weekend with my kiddos, but I’m missing them so dang much, since I dropped them off to their mom a couple hours ago. Like my heart is hurting so much, missing them so terribly much. My house is quiet and without laughter and love now, with them gone.
Just said goodbye to my kiddos after a wonderful weekend with them. It stings to say goodbye. Hurts like hell, quite frankly. Hasn’t gotten any easier over the last two years each time I have to say goodbye. My home now goes from joy, love and laughter, to silence and loneliness.
I’m really not looking forward to tomorrow. Tomorrow would have been a wedding anniversary for me. Tomorrow is going to be a rough and emotional day for me. Thoughts and prayers for me would be greatly appreciated, if it’s not asking too much, Twitter fam. Thanks all.
Some days I do better than others, but today is not one of those. Being divorced and single sucks. Trying to date sucks. Not seeing my kids daily sucks. I just wish I could catch a break one of these times. Sorry. Sob story over. I could just go for a good pick me up or laugh.
🧵 Today is
#AutismAwarenessDay
. My amazing daughter Lily, and incredible son Jackson, are both autistic. These two wonderful children of mine are my heroes!
Let’s settle this once and for all!

16 years ago today, I got married for what I thought would be time and all eternity. But then I found myself officially divorced in January 2021. I continue to put my full faith in God, realizing His ways and timing for how my life unfolds, is not mine. I move forward in faith.
Lily: “Do you want to be a cool dad?”
Me: “Yes, Lily! I do!”
Lily: “Then let me paint your finger nails. Your finger nails are naked.”
Me: “Will that make me a cool dad?”
Lily: “Yes! It will!”
Jackson: “I’ll call you a girl, dad!”
I became a cool dad, but it came at a price
I just watched a dog chase it’s tail for 5 minutes and thought “wow, dogs are easily entertained.” Then I realized….I just watched a dog chase it’s tail for 5 minutes.
BREAKING NEWS:
It’s believed that Ben Simmons reinjured his back today due to the 4.8 magnitude earthquake that rattled back East.
It is now expected he will miss the entire 2024-2025 season.
I get my kiddos from the time school gets out this afternoon clear until Christmas evening at 7PM! My heart is so happy! I can’t wait! I am so excited to get the first half of winter break this year with them and enjoy having them for Christmas this year!
One of those days/nights. Just feeling really down and sad and like the future is bleak and hopeless. Sometimes it’s hard to keep a good face and cheerful spirit when you are hurting. Not even sure why I’m tweeting this. But sometimes I just gotta let my feelings out somewhere.
Mixed emotions for me, as I just got the results back and found out that my son is on the autism spectrum and has ADHD and DMDD, just like his older sister. My heart aches for these challenges my kids have, but I’m relieved to have answers as well.

I just got back from dropping my kids off to their mother, after having a wonderful holiday weekend with them. It is still gut wrenching and hurts so bad even 1.5 years later to say goodbye to my kids each time our time together concludes. I am missing them so badly already. 😔
I just got my kids dropped back off to their mother. It sure hurts saying goodbye to them and hasn’t gotten any easier every time I’ve had to do it over the past year since this divorce. Just feeling really sad now.
On our way to church this morning, I asked my kids why it is important to be quiet in church. They were quick to reply with “Because there are people sleeping!”
From my family to you and yours, here’s to a blessed Sabbath day of rest…literally! 😂
I am sorry (ok not really sorry) for all my family tweets since Friday, but my heart couldn’t be happier to have my kiddos through August 21…so most likely it’s just going to be tweets about my memories I’m making with my kiddos.
My sister sent me to the store to get one last gift for my niece, so I asked her what I should get, she told me “anything Frozen”, so I got a bag of peas and some pizza rolls.
Two years ago today, on International Autism Awareness/Acceptance Day, I announced on my social media for all to see, that my amazing daughter Lily is Autistic.
I look back at the tremendous amount of love, support, respect, appreciation, admiration, acceptance and awareness /1
I’m grateful for the friends I’ve made on this app! You all inspire me to be better!
My birthday wish today would be to make it over 1K followers, so I can have more of you to interact with and be inspired by.
Who wants to help me get there?!
I surprised my kids at the school today and enjoyed spending lunch with them! I brought them their favorite cookie from Cutler’s, and favorite drink from Twisted Sugar, to go with their lunch. Highlight of my day! They melt my heart! They’re my all, and greatest source of joy!
I’d love to see the Jazz land one of the following playmakers this off season, either via trade or free agency:
Fred VanVleet
Dejounte Murray
Damian Lillard
Austin Reaves

I can’t think of a more deserving person! So happy for you, Cory!
Thanks a ton, Lauri! Jazz nation loves you on and off the court! We couldn’t be more proud with how you represent our Utah Jazz!
What do you guys find to be helpful when your just feeling down and hopeless and disappointed in life?
I’ve just not been feelin’ it lately and while I try to stay positive and upbeat for others to see, sometimes it’s hard to hide how I’m really feeling.
Sorry to be a downer.
I had a great weekend with my kiddos…but ever since dropping them off at 6 tonight to their mom, I am missing them so incredibly bad. Like my heart is aching and sad. Sorry to sob here on twitter, but just had to let it out.
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate these two priceless moments that
@JordanClarksons
provided us with through the first 10 games of the season?! We dang love you, Jordan! Thanks for making Jazz Nation so proud!
