What is Super Dad?
Learn MoreWhat's the most rewarding part about being a dad?
It’s the everyday moments—teaching my boys how to fix things, passing down a passion for history and community, and seeing their faces light up when they master something new. Being a dad means getting a front-row seat to their growth. Knowing that the time, effort, and love I pour into raising them today will help shape who they become tomorrow is the ultimate reward. Nothing tops hearing them say "Thanks, Dad" after solving a problem together.
Why do you strive to be the best dad you can be?
Growing up, my father walked out on us, leaving a void I promised I would never let my two sons experience. That lesson shaped everything I am today. I strive to be the best dad I can be so my boys never have to wonder if they are loved, supported, or prioritized. Being present for every milestone, project, and life lesson isn't just a duty, it’s my greatest privilege. I’m building the blueprint of a devoted father that I wished I had, ensuring my family always feels secure.
How would you use the $25,000?
Winning $25,000 would go directly toward securing my family’s future and expanding our free community micro-museum. I would set aside funds for my two sons' future education while investing in new display equipment and educational interactive stations for our exhibits. Every dollar spent on the museum ensures local sports, music, and Indiana history remain accessible and completely free to the public, teaching my boys the power of hard work, preservation, and giving back.
