What is Super Dad?
Learn MoreWhat's the most rewarding part about being a dad?
Without a doubt, the most rewarding part of being a dad is having a front-row seat to watch my children grow. Beyond basic milestones, nothing brings me greater pride than seeing their character unfold every day as they mature into smart, respectful, and deeply good-hearted individuals. Knowing I get to help guide their journey and watch them learn to navigate the world with kindness and integrity is the greatest privilege of my life
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 that just showing up and being truly present in my kids' lives is what matters most. No matter what challenges life throws their way or what hurdles they face, my goal is to be their steady foundation every single day. Being someone they can unconditionally count on—through every high, low, and ordinary moment in between—is what drives me to keep growing, showing up, and giving them my absolute best every day.
How would you use the $25,000?
We recently bought land here in Maine, and winning $25,000 would be an incredible blessing for our family. There are so many hands-on projects around the house and property that need attention. This money would directly fund those improvements—helping us transform our house and acreage into a warm, safe, and welcoming home where our kids can grow up, explore, and create lifelong memories together.
