Web/design/communications pro, now with @SUNY. Music, hockey/baseball, and parenting twins take up my other time. @RPI grad way back. Let's do this.

@JosephStorchNY @SUNY @SUNYArrive @GrandRiverSols Rock on Joe. We always turned work into genuine fun amongst the crew. That's a skill not to be wasted at your new gig. Best of luck in all you do there.

@hlundqvist35 Man, this stings, but if anybody ever earned a ride off into the sunset, it's you. My 10 yr old boy will just keep watching classic videos as he continues training to be the next you. Thanks for the memories King. #NYR

When you take a week off from work and completely disconnect, you can really enjoy the stuff that matters. Like new surprises! Stanley is going to remind us of that every day with his #puppylove.

This heat is crazy. That makes having access to a pool while on vacation a luxury. Going to live it up later.

[Taras Kufel @TKufel]

When away visiting family, we still find ways to watch the #StanleyCup Finals. Not sure who to pull for yet, so #LetsDoThatHockey

[Taras Kufel @TKufel]

It's been way too long, but this is how you do a family "reunion" in Central NY. #Bonfire

[Taras Kufel @TKufel]

Finally getting into the club! Dose 1 is done and I'm just waiting to go home. @ualbany is absolutely nailing this effort front to back. High fives all around. #vaccinated

@JeffR_SUNY @RinkWatchOrg @TheBackyardRink That's what it is for the next week or so! The birds and deer love it.

First day of spring means the kid's hockey season is over and the #ODR season is over. But a great winter for the #backyardrink. Back at it for season 4 later this year.

[Taras Kufel @TKufel]

Last weekend of the #ODR season and we found some friends to make the most of it. Glorious #backyardrink setup here, but in the front yard. I'll miss it all when the shorts come out.

[Taras Kufel @TKufel]

Not many will know, but I need any outlet I can get. So proud of this little guy this weekend. 9 yrs old played his heart out like @NHL scouts were watching w/ 70+ saves in 2 games. The future is bright. #prouddad

I think you've made it when a portrait of you is hand drawn for your home office. It's like looking in a mirror! She's an #artist in the making.

[Taras Kufel @TKufel]

@BTPsgoaliegear @TheBackyardRink He's already on the way! Every game on the #ODR helps.

[Taras Kufel @TKufel]

It took long enough, but the #backyardrink is finally open and #ODR season is off and running. Friday Night Lights! @TheBackyardRink

[Taras Kufel @TKufel]

Rocking out to the @frankturner birthday bash in NY. Kiddos finally get their chance to see you live and they love it. COVID can't stop these good vibes. Thanks Frank and @_sleepingsouls. #FTHC

[Taras Kufel @TKufel]

8-12" cleared and we see slush! The #ODR is saved. Never underestimate your hockey mom wife. Came home from kid's practice to see this #BackyardRink clear already started. Season saved!

[Taras Kufel @TKufel]

There's a rink back there, but it looks like #ODR season is on indefinite pause with 25+ inches on top of a non-fully frozen sheet. Screw you 2020. #BackyardRink

[Taras Kufel @TKufel]

@HeatherHage Yep. Kids choice, to add to the motivation and keep us busy!

[Taras Kufel @TKufel]

And now we wait. Tarp down on the #BackyardRink today, and hoping for some rain this weekend to help my cause because next week looks cold enough to freeze this baby. Let's go! #ODR

[Taras Kufel @TKufel]

I started off being all cranky old man dad, but hearing the pandemonium coming from the living room makes it seem like this #FortniteNexusWar live event is pretty cool for the kid.
