What is Super Dad?
Learn MoreWhat's the most rewarding part about being a dad?
The most rewarding part is watching my kids grow in their faith and seeing God shape their hearts. There’s nothing more meaningful than watching them learn to love God, love others, and choose what is right even when no one is watching. As a dad, I can teach them, guide them, and lead by example, but seeing them develop a faith of their own is something that makes me incredibly proud and grateful.
Why do you strive to be the best dad you can be?
I strive to be the best dad I can be because my kids are watching—not just what I say, but how I work, love, handle pressure, and treat people. I want them to know they were deeply loved and that their dad was present, not perfect. With seven kids, life can be loud and exhausting, but it is also my greatest responsibility and privilege. My goal is simple: lead by example, fill our home with love and laughter, and help each child believe they can become their best.
How would you use the $25,000?
I’d use the $25,000 as an opportunity to teach my seven kids that blessings are meant to be shared. We would tithe a portion, help someone in need, invest some for their futures, and use the rest to make lifelong family memories. I’d want them to remember not just what we received, but how we used it to bless others.
