What does being a father mean to you?

Everything. God gifted me 4 kids to teach and groom to be examples of his Kingdo.

1000 fearless fathers-dear fathers

Describe your experience with your father growing up and how that impacted you today.

No relationship. Which drove me to be a better father.

Have you had any obstacles on your fatherhood journey? If so, explain.

Plenty. Being a Father at 15 was my first of many obstacles.

What advice would you give others new on their fatherhood journey?

Enjoy the time you have alone with them. Don’t try to give them everything you didn’t have. Don’t try to be there friends and let them have a voice.

If you could write a quick letter to your father, starting with “Dear Father,” what would it be?

Dear Father thank you for your absence .
