What is Super Dad?
Learn MoreWhat's the most rewarding part about being a dad?
Where do I start.. my 2 yr old daughter is my world and just brightens my day every morning. I am a part time stay at home dad, so we go out to playgrounds, parks, aquarium and try to explore the city every time. My daughter Ellise is so adventurous and loves nature and animals, from horses and chickens to turtles and fish.
Why do you strive to be the best dad you can be?
In our 40s, my wife and I decided we would go on this journey and to see her grow from her mommy's stomach and come out to the world was the greatest gift ever. I just want to try my best and make sure she gets to explore and see the world. It's my duty to raise her well and enjoy every minute we have together. Being an older dad makes you think twice about every choice I make, especially if its going to reflect on her. I just want to make sure she grows to be a kind and loving person.
How would you use the $25,000?
I would use the 25k on purchasing a bigger car for her. Also so that my wife can drive to and from work, so we can all spend more time together. Usually almost 3 hrs of commuting daily. Driving would be a little less that 1 hr and a half.
