During the last few months I have written a few posts about the importance of family and how taking care of your children always has to come before your work. I think that a rewarding career should be one that includes both work and family in good proportions.

So you might imagine my excitement when I found out that that’s exactly what Mike from Stay at Home Dad, Geek Style is doing.

Mike is a young dad and he has lots of things going on: At 21 he is the father of a beautiful baby girl called Alex. He is a new business owner, web designer and SEO (Search Engine Optimization) expert. And recently he decided that it makes the most sense for him to stay at home with his daughter.

To me that sounds almost like a dream come true.

In his blog Mike talks about the everyday life of a stay at home dad trying to combine work and family, but also lets the reader get close and personal: Mike tells about his ambitions, going to rock concerts and having to decide between right and wrong.

After reading the blog for only a week or so (actually, the blog hasn’t been around for much longer than that yet) I already feel I know this guy better than some of my real life acquaintances. I really hope that Mike will be able to keep up with blogging and sharing his experiences and thus inspiring the rest of us geek dads.

To put it short, Stay at Home Dad, Geek Style is an interesting read for any geek dad out there (and based on the comments, many moms are reading it too). If you haven’t seen it yet, go check it out now. And while you are at Mike’s blog, don’t forget to check out his Stay At Home Dad Digital Camera Give-Away, in which Mike is giving away a brand new Canon PowerShot SD750: All you have to do is make a post like this one!
