What is Super Dad?
Learn MoreWhat's the most rewarding part about being a dad?
The most rewarding part about being a father is being able to come home to my children fighting their way for a hug. I get to embrace being a father of these wonderful children and being able to teach them right from wrong to create a better future for their children to come.
Why do you strive to be the best dad you can be?
I strive to be the best father I can be because I grew up and saw how dads really do change childrens lives based on positive and even negative experiences. Seeing that really gave me a prospective as a child on what kind of dad I wanted to be the very first time my wife showed me the two pink lines on her first pregnancy test. After that everything changed and it keeps changing every single day as my children get older and become more independent and learn new things in life.
How would you use the $25,000?
My family and I could use the money for our son's next surgery or hospital stay because of his rare disease. We never know when we are going to have a hospital stay. Even if he doesnt have a hospital stay then we could actually have our first family vacation as we are always too busy or too broke to actually do something fun. Or we are in the hospital. We live paycheck to paycheck and we would just love to be able to not have to worry about bills all the time.
