What is Super Dad?
Learn MoreWhat's the most rewarding part about being a dad?
Just watching my kids grow and accomplish everything they set there minds too. Watching them play sports and learn new things just brings pure happiness to me. There’s a lot I can say but I do know that having my kids is the best thing that could have ever happened to me.
Why do you strive to be the best dad you can be?
For me, I didn’t have my parents showing up for our sports or school functions because I was a family of nine kids so when I was playing football or lacrosse and looking up to the stands and not seeing my dad not there because he worked two/ three jobs to support us it was very hard so for me I wanted to be there more for my kids while still providing for them the best I can.
How would you use the $25,000?
I would pay some of my sons medical bills from his autoimmune disease bring them on a family vacation and also put money into both there savings account something that can build over the years to give them a better start in life then what my wife and I were giving. Just having the ability to have them start there young adult lives out with some comfort in that I wish I could have had going into my adult life.
