About The Urban Daddy

I am the urban daddy because my wife of 11 years who got me into blogging in 2004 was calling herself the urban mummy. It only made sense.

I am a father of two boys, Linus (because he carries around a security blanket and a white stuffed cat which is my avatar) who is 7 and Stewie (because we feel he’s trying to kill us) who is 5.  Our baby girl, Berry (who makes us laugh) is 2-years-old.  We live in mid-town urban Toronto where we live our lives as a laid back, no fuss family.  We eat healthy (my wife was a vegetarian for 12 years when I met and converted her – but she has gone back to the land of veggies).  She is studying to be a holistic nutritionist.

Both her and I have our Master’s degrees, her in education, me a MBA which we completed with newborns.  Crazy, eh?

I love politics, especially Canadian, and have fundraised for Councillor Karen Stintz and was approached by the Conservative Party to run municipally or provincially in my riding.  I would have, except I love my job as a taxation executive.

I’m also a sports junkie, love playing ball hockey (21 years in organized league play), and watching it on TV.  I also love wrestling and Star Wars so my nerd side gets equal jock play too.

I have always been on the chubbier side, although I have been described as being freakishly strong and can run 5K in my sleep, now.

I’ve been blogging since 2004 and have made some year-end award lists, been mentioned by CBS news, asked to be on a local Canadian TV show as their daddy blogger expert and been ripped for my views.  My views.

Everything here comes out of my head and this blog is meant to allow me to empty my head of thoughts and opinions and if you choose to read and like it or get offended let me know.  Just nothing personal, racist or rude.  I can delete them… And you. 

I also blog for money, but I won’t ask, it’s a bonus and not the reason I blog.  If you want an expert opinion, or a family opinion drop me an email at realurbandaddy@gmail.com I have a wide range of contacts who can assist too.  I’m on twitter @realurbandaddy and on Facebook.  Find me!

Those who do not call me “Daddy” or “Urban Daddy” call me Warren, but as Linus like to tell his teacher when we have to meet with her / him, “they call him the urban daddy”.
