What is Super Dad?
Learn MoreWhat's the most rewarding part about being a dad?
The most rewarding part about being a dad (Papi) is the journey and memories I create with all my girls. Knowing that the legacy I build around them will carry on through the rest of their lives and maybe one day their children’s lives. The extra hugs, the big smiles and the intense amount of laughter that fills the house makes every hard work absolutely worth it, and what fills my heart and soul is hearing my girls say “I Love You” I don’t need to hear anything else because their love is enough
Why do you strive to be the best dad you can be?
I strive to be the best Papi so that when my girls grow up they have an image of what a man should be in body and spirit. I strive to be the best husband and treat my wife with all the love in the world so that my daughters know that they should never settle for anything less than what they deserve. Being the best Papi isn’t just for my kids, it’s to inspire other fathers to strive and be the best dad because we have the ability to be a One of none in our kids eyes and can’t ever be compared.
How would you use the $25,000?
As a retired and disabled Navy Veteran I’d spend it on repairs on my home so that the girls can have a safe and stable home long after I’m gone, I’d fix up their rooms to give them their dream rooms, build them a tree house outside that they can enjoy the outdoors, I would do anything I can to make sure my girls have lasting memories that will last way after I’m gone. The most important thing to me is seeing my little girls thrive and smile while I do all the hard work so they won’t have to.
