What is Super Dad?
Learn MoreWhat's the most rewarding part about being a dad?
Watching all of the milestones. From the beginning my daughter has been a fighter. She was born at 34 weeks and 4lbs and was able to leave the NICU in two weeks! That was just the first milestone. From there it was rolling over, then crawling and now just starting to stand and walk. It is truly incredible seeing my baby grow, I cannot wait for all the milestones to come and I am so grateful to be able to do it all over again with little Thomas!
Why do you strive to be the best dad you can be?
I want to be as good of a father as mine was to me. I could not have asked for better parents growing up and I want the same for my children. They deserve the world and I intend to give it to them. My parents have shown me the values needed to be a good parent my entire life and how important it is to be a part and active in your children’s lives. I want the best for my kids and would do anything for them to get them to where they need/want to be.
How would you use the $25,000?
I would put it in a high interest building account. My wife and I would add on with part of our paychecks too and give it to our children when they turn 18/go to college.
