DADS- Doing Active Dad Stuff

05/14/2026

The inaugural D.A.D.S. program is officially in the books. Grateful to walk alongside my co-facilitator and clinician, Julio Tavarez, as we helped create space for fathers to grow, reflect, connect, and lead with love. This was never just about sessions or certificates. It was about presence, legacy, and reminding fathers that showing up matters.

Super grateful to the leadership at Bella Mente Counseling in seeing the value of this DADS group and for partnering with me on this idea. We started with a vision. We leave with stories, relationships, and a foundation to build on.

Fatherhood is a marathon so keep showing up, keep listening, keep leading with love, keep doing active dad stuff.

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. 💪🏾💙

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!

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.
