Growing up, I faced many challenges that have shaped me into the person I am today. The abuse I experienced at the hands of my stepmother during my formative years left me feeling unworthy of love and doubting my self-worth. As I grew older, the impact of the trauma manifested in different ways, affecting my relationships and self-esteem.

My upbringing also made it difficult for me to open up and trust others, as I discovered that my family had a history of keeping significant matters hidden. This realization left me questioning my ability to be vulnerable and share my feelings with others, as I had been conditioned to believe that important matters should be kept secret.

It wasn't until much later in life that I began to unpack the emotional baggage that had accumulated over the years and started the long process of healing and self-discovery. Through this journey, I have learned the importance of recognizing and addressing abuse, as well as the vital role that support networks play in healing and recovery.

Now, I am dedicated to helping other fathers overcome their own challenges and obstacles, empowering them with the knowledge and tools they need to create fulfilling and successful lives. By sharing my story and experiences, I hope to inspire other dads to embrace their unique strengths and talents, fostering positive change in their families and communities.

By opening up about my own personal journey, I aim to create a safe and supportive space for dads to come together and learn from one another. Through our unique C.A.R.E. approach, we can work together to build a brighter future for ourselves, our families, and our world.
