What is Super Dad?
Learn MoreWhat's the most rewarding part about being a dad?
Seeing my sons progress towards their goals. As they learn and accomplish tasks and become more self reliant, it’s bitter sweet as I know their dependency on me will wane, but I’ll have fulfilled my role as dad at the same time.
Why do you strive to be the best dad you can be?
The example I set for my sons is paramount. While they know no person is perfect, that doesn’t make an excuse not to try.
How would you use the $25,000?
We would take some family trips to see more of the United States such as Yellowstone and Grand Canyon. We would also use some to find the right small town America location to call home after my career in the military.
