Who Am I and How Can You Send Me Gifts?

My name is Shawn. I live in the Silicon Valley. This blog here, Backpacking Dad, is not about hiking, camping, nature or the outdoors. This is a dad blog.

What’s a dad blog? Just like every other kind of blog, but I’m dad, so sometimes my kids show up here. Being a dad blogger seems to also mean being a photography blogger, no matter how bad, a food blogger, no matter how amateurish, a social media blogger, no matter how pompous, and a public opinion holder. Oh, and now sometimes I write about hiking because I took up hiking.

I’m a Canadian transplant to California. I’m married to Emily, the pretty one who shows up on the blog from time to time. We have two kids, Erin and Adrian. They aren’t in school yet, but I am, and have been forever. I study philosophy, which is a lot like saying “I married well.”

You can e-mail me if you wish. backpackingdad at backpackingdad dot com or use my contact page to tell me something.

You can follow me on Twitter. http://www.twitter.com/backpackingdad

I have a Facebook Page  http://www.facebook.com/backpackingdadblog.

I have a LinkedIn profile I don’t understand how to use. http://www.linkedin.com/in/backpackingdad.
