Sheldon Porter

Summer is FINALLY here, and I’m so excited I could probably power a grill with pure enthusiasm. At 48, with four kids, a wife at home, and absolutely zero chill, I’m basically running on a fuel mix of sunscreen, iced coffee, and the sudden confidence that “this year will be different” (it won’t). I’m ready for long days, fun family plans, and the timeless tradition of everyone asking where the snacks are—like I’m the Summer Customer Service Hotline. Bring on the sunshine, the pool splashes, and the glorious chaos... because honestly, if summer has taught me anything, it’s that I can’t control the weather, but I can control the vibe: loud, optimistic, and mildly outnumbered.
