My dad was my best man at my wedding. I can’t think of anyone else I would’ve wanted to have by my side on that day.

Father's Day is coming up this weekend, and I wanted to take a few minutes and share some of my favorite memories with my dad. I'm so grateful for all my dad has taught me. He's taught me to have a good work ethic, he's taught me to treat people with respect and always be considerate of others. The older I get the more I realize how many personality traits I get from my dad. I can't wait to see him become a grandfather later this year, and I can only hope that I'm half the dad to my daughter that my dad was to me. Now my dad isn't much of a picture taker, so I don't have a ton of pics with him, but these are some of my favorites. Happy Father's Day to my dad and all of the dads out there in Kicks Country, we love and appreciate all of y'all!

This is my dad Keith. A lot of people say we just alike. Do you agree?

The first time I ever had the chance to go to The Masters was with my dad. So glad we got to share this memory together.
