What is Super Dad?
Learn MoreWhat's the most rewarding part about being a dad?
The most rewarding part for me is watching her grow. Watching her find enjoyment in the little things, she is such a light of positivity I learn from her to see things from a child like perspective. Also seeing her grow into a strong and determined woman has been something I've enjoyed watching, she takes on challenges and pushes through fear, something I've been really trying to teach her is to not let fear get in the way of her goals
Why do you strive to be the best dad you can be?
As a single father and a recovered alcoholic I really try to teach my daughter that her life isn't dictated by her past and what's around her, I try to teach her to be strong in herself, her faith, and never to give up on what she believe is true and right. I really believe her story is going to help so many children who may have had alcoholic or divided households
How would you use the $25,000?
I would use a portion of it to put it away in a savings I have for her, I wanted to start a savings account for her, for some years now, but having to rebuild my life has been costly and even though I haven't officially started that, I do plan on doing that when the timing is right. 25k would help me start that and pay off a large portion of my debt that I accrued over the last 7 years trying to build a stable life for my daughter
