Welcome to MADCTY!

This site is under development at the moment, but will soon be the home to promoting the MADCTY brand to all the Middle Aged Dads out there who like me are clinging onto their youth through being active with their kids and reengaging in activities long abandoned to parenthood and career.

For me it took divorce, however I know there are marriages that are true partnerships that support one another in retaining identity and activity on a personal level, whichever one you are it doesn’t matter as long as you are kicking ass and taking names.

At 45 I jumped on a skateboard with my son, 33 years since the last time I tried then we got long boards… then a return to hitting the single track bike trails through the river valley, recapturing the memory of racing 31 years earlier…

Now it’s paddling, hiking, cycling, skating (board and ice), climbing walls, trampoline parks etc. just having fun with my kids, with friends and on my own.

In the interest of balance I also need the creative outlets in my life, playing guitar, photography, videography and more…

Okay you may have picked up that I’m an introvert by the fact that most of the activities listed are solo or small group activities but if you’re an extrovert or a team sports guy that’s great too as long as you’re giving it all you got and enjoying the thrill of it and feeling like a teenager.
