DADS- Doing Active Dad Stuff

01/03/2026

D.A.D.S. is officially on the road.

What started as a book has now grown into a structured fatherhood program in partnership with Bella Mente Counseling, with our first Rhode Island cohort beginning March 4.

This program is designed to help fathers:

• Strengthen relationships with their children
• Build confidence in their role
• Develop intentional bonding habits
• Connect in community with other dads

This is exactly why I created Doing Active Dad Stuff.

Because when fathers are supported, families are stronger. And when families are stronger, communities are stronger.

We are now actively looking to partner with:

• Schools
• Counseling centers
• Community organizations
• Faith-based institutions
• Youth-serving programs

to bring the D.A.D.S. Program to more fathers and more communities.

Now booking Spring and Summer cohorts- if your organization is interested in hosting a future cohort, I’d love to connect.

Fathers — as our kids head back to school, let’s remember: they don’t just need supplies… they need us. 💪🏾💙

This year, make a commitment to be present, involved, and intentional. Whether it’s drop-off hugs, lunchbox notes, bedtime check-ins, or weekend adventures — your presence matters more than perfection.

Need ideas? Motivation? A roadmap?

Use D.A.D.S. (Doing Active Dad Stuff) as your go-to tool this school year. It’s packed with 100 FREE ways to connect, bond, and grow alongside your kids — one moment at a time.

You can’t go back 20 years and change how you showed up—but you can choose how you show up from here on out.

Picture the kind of dad, man, and leader you want to be 20 years from now. Strong. Present. Respected.

Then make choices today that bring you closer to him.

That way, when your kids are grown and the mirror shows a few more lines, you won’t be looking back with regret—you’ll be standing in the legacy you built on purpose.

Keep showing up!

Today, I had the privilege of connecting with readers and fellow authors at an incredible community event hosted by GBAPP, Inc.!

It was a blessing to share D.A.D.S. (Doing Active Dad Stuff) with so many amazing dads and families looking to make lasting memories with their kids—without breaking the bank.

Every conversation reminded me why I wrote this book: to give fathers the tools, ideas, and inspiration to show up, be present, and create unforgettable moments.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, supported, and shared their own stories of fatherhood. This movement is just getting started!

Doing Active Dad Stuff is more than a book—it’s a blueprint for dads who want to make every day count.

Just finished signing a big order of D.A.D.S.: Doing Active Dad Stuff—and I’m still taking it all in. This started as a simple idea to be more intentional as a father… and now it’s making its way into homes, schools, and programs that want to uplift dads. I’m thankful 🥹.

With Father’s Day around the corner, this is the perfect gift for the dad who does more than just show up—he shows out.

Grab your copy (or a few for the dads you know) and let’s keep making fatherhood active, joyful, and powerful.

D.A.D.S. in Action: Chapter 1, Idea #3 – Chalk Art Gallery

We took a simple idea from Chapter 1 of my book D.A.D.S.: Doing Active Dad Stuff—Chalk Art Gallery—and turned our sidewalk into a creative playground.

Each of us picked a section of pavement, made it our “gallery room,” and filled it with whatever came to mind. No rules, no pressure—just imagination and encouragement. We wrapped it up with a family art walk, showing off our masterpieces and cheering each other on.

It didn’t cost a thing, but it meant everything.

This is what D.A.D.S. is all about—intentional, fun, everyday ways to connect as a family. If you haven’t checked out the book yet, now’s the time: https://dadstuff.bigcartel.com/product/

Let’s keep building memories one activity at a time.

This is more than a book.

It’s a promise I made to myself as a father—to be present, to create moments, and to build memories that last.

Today, I held the first official copy of D.A.D.S.: Doing Active Dad Stuff.
100 free adventures.
A built-in reflection journal.
And a message: fatherhood is worth showing up for.

This book isn’t perfect—but it’s honest.
It’s what I needed.
And maybe what another dad out there needs, too.

Thank you to everyone who’s encouraged me, believed in this, or shared your own dad story with me.

This is just the beginning.
Let’s keep doing active dad stuff.

Now available just in time for Father’s Day.
Grab a copy for yourself, a friend, or a dad you admire.
