What is Super Dad?
Learn MoreWhat's the most rewarding part about being a dad?
The most rewarding part of being a Dad is knowing that my kids fuel my life and give me purpose. Everything I do is driven by wanting to give them opportunities I didn’t have, make them feel loved and appreciated, and help them become good humans who bring love and happiness into the world. Their smiles, their growth, and even the way they bring the kid back out of me remind me why life is so beautiful. Being their Dad has taught me what real love, happiness, and purpose truly mean.
Why do you strive to be the best dad you can be?
I strive to be the best Dad I can be because I know the love, time, and example I give my kids today will help shape who they become tomorrow. I want to raise kind, respectful, grateful, hardworking people who treat everyone with love. I take the best lessons from my parents and build on them by being present, celebrating the little things, and giving my kids the time I didn’t always have growing up. Ultimately, I want them to become the best versions of themselves.
How would you use the $25,000?
I would use the majority of the $25,000 to invest in my kids’ future through accounts that can grow over time, giving them a foundation to pursue whatever opportunities they choose like higher education, travel, a home, or something I can’t even imagine yet. I’d use the rest for sports, music, classes, and activities that help them explore their passions and grow. To me, this is about giving my kids opportunities, investing in their future, and helping them become who they want to be.
