Technology wasn’t designed to help families It was designed to distract and to addict Standard parental controls aren't enough when the network itself is wide open As parents, we’re fighting a losing battle against devices that are nearly impossible to secure And our kids are left exposed As a Dad and a Marine Corps veteran, I've learned: if the environment isn't secure, nothing else matters That’s why I’m building FamliSec: a secure environment that protects your family at home and beyond Because strong families are the antidote to a crumbling society I’m documenting the journey as we reclaim the sanctity of the home If you’re ready to take back control, follow along

I talked to 100 parents about their kids on the internet The stories were worse than I expected A child messaging strangers on a Bible app A preteen y/o downloading p*rn thru Siri A teen groomed on Roblox The parents had controls in place But they underestimated how connected their kids devices were Online safety means more than downloading Bark

Expectations for your family are set by what do Never what you say

Do you use parental controls on your kids devices?

If you can’t solder, you aren’t a free man

If your lifestyle doesn’t have room for raising kids, you should change your lifestyle

If your opinions come from Facebook reels, they aren’t your opinion

The best food isn’t what you eat around the table It’s the samples you sneak from the kitchen

Apple pie is a Thanksgiving essential Hopefully I wont burn it this year… What’s the one dish you’re most excited for?

The Nuclear Family is the greatest lie we've sold young couples Dad, mom, and some kids But the strength isn't in a single generation It's in the relationships between the generations Grandpas and Grandmas Uncles, Aunts, and Cousins A strong family is multigenerational
