What is Super Dad?
Learn MoreWhat's the most rewarding part about being a dad?
Seeing These amazing kids take the tools we give them and go in directions we couldn't have even dreamed of. I love seeing them dream and then figure out how that dream could become real.
Why do you strive to be the best dad you can be?
I realize time is so precious and the time i have with my kids while they are still children is so fleeting. I want them to learn through experience with natural consequence so they learn their own sense of worth and value. The world needs extraordinary independent creative people to carry us forward.
How would you use the $25,000?
I would put it towards their continuing education as they hone in on their particular passions for their adult life. My oldest wants to be an effects make up artist and my son wants to be an actor and musician. I would want to find those mentors who can take them to their full potential in whatever drives them.
