What is Super Dad?
Learn MoreWhat's the most rewarding part about being a dad?
That I get to share my life & time with my kids & be a family. I get to raise Lucas (15) & Alivia (14) to be a great part of society & that my legacy will continue after God calls me home. I get to see every stage from them being born, to starting school in kindergarten, to now they are in high school. Being there for their sports, & supporting them in other things they enjoy doing. I get to teach them how to fish, use tools & just basic Dad stuff which means a lot to me & them as well...
Why do you strive to be the best dad you can be?
Well to be honest my biological Dad wasn't in my life growing up at all. He didn't want the responsibility, so I strive to be the best Dad I can be because I knew what it was like not having one & it's my job to raise them to be better than myself . I try my best to teach my kids the core values of life & that's to be humble, God fearing, love your neighbor, & be there for your family & loved ones. To say what you do & do what you say balance your time wisely & that hard work pays off.
How would you use the $25,000?
This is an easy question... I am a family man & I spend most of my time at the house when I'm not at work. I would definitely invest 20k into our home to make it more comfortable for my family & I & that would be the most rewarding feeling possible. To know our house where we spend most of our time has been made more comfortable for us. I would take the remaining $5k & split it between both Lucas & Alivia's 529 college fund that my father in Law Kent Hart started for them a few years back. ❤️💯
