My kids won't remember my perfect answers. They'll remember my love—late-night songs, random Tuesday pancakes, and always being safe here.

What is Super Dad?
Learn MoreWhat's the most rewarding part about being a dad?
Seeing how much they’ve grown, even if it feels like it happened too quickly, fills me with pride. The way they give their very best, offer love and kindness, and show true respect for others makes my heart swell with gratitude and admiration.
Why do you strive to be the best dad you can be?
I strive every day to be the best father and husband I can be because my family needs me. My two children look to me for guidance and love, my five dogs depend on me for care and attention, and my wife, whom I love unconditionally, battles borderline personality disorder and depression. I do my best to be her steady support, offering patience and understanding, because she and our entire family deserve my strength, my presence, and my devotion.
How would you use the $25,000?
If I were fortunate enough to win, my first priority would be to invest in our children’s 529 college savings plans to help secure their future education. I would also use part of the winnings to pay off a portion of my wife’s medical bills, easing some of the financial burden we’ve been carrying. If there is anything left after that, I would love to treat my family to something small but meaningful, creating a special memory together as a reward for all we’ve been through.
