I’m blessed to be in a position in life where I get to see so many amazing people and help bring smiles to their faces.
Anyone special you’d like to thank for helping you through parenthood?
Oh man! My Mom, My dad! Without them I don’t know how I would have made it through. Parenting is really rewarding, But also difficult. They get all the praise. Teaching me early on things like respect, Patience and how to be strong.

Just spend time with them. Anything from just watching Tv to playing video games to outdoor activities. I just love to be around them.

Any “Dad Advice” you would like to share with other dads?
Love. Let your children know every day how important they are, How good they are doing and be very positive with them. Life isn’t always easy. It’s not always fair. I try to instill real-world qualities in them while also making sure they know they can conquer the world
