Joe Pridgen and his wife Grace recently moved from Boston to Missoula with their five-month-old daughter Samarra after Joe signed to continue his collegiate basketball career at the University of Montana.

Balancing new fatherhood, academics and athletics, Joe prioritizes being a partner to Grace and a father to Samarra. They work together to create stability and establish routine amidst the unpredictability of raising a baby.

Everything from being a father to living in Missoula is new to Joe as he works to find his identity within his new team and young family.
