What if every girl got the dad she deserves? I would like to have that conversation with you.
In 2001 a baby girl named Elizabeth was born in Texas. She didn’t have a safe place to live, so five days later she was placed in a foster home, Janice’s and my home in Houston. Two years later, Elizabeth’s sister, Rachel, was born in the same situation - and ended up in the same place, united with her sister.
Opening our home to these two girls transformed my life and inspired me to make a big change. I decided to not only adopt Elizabeth and Rachel, but to also end my corporate career to pursue a new one: full-time Dad.

That was well over a decade ago. Since then, I devoted myself to understanding not only what my daughters need from me, but also what every daughter needs from her dad. I started by asking women their best memory of their dad and learned from their stories. What began as a simple question turned into a movement: The Every Sunday Project, an endeavor focused on inspiring men to create extraordinary relationships with their daughters.
I grew up the son of humble parents, got an engineering degree and a job in good company where I worked for 30 years. During my career, I came to believe that our greatest gifts in life are the people we get to know and love. Acting on this belief, I went back to school and got a graduate degree in psychology to better understand how to relate to and lead people—a focus I still have.
Besides fostering The Every Sunday Project and spending time with my daughters, I am also a business coach, life coach, parenting coach, and advocate for fathers and daughters. I am a lifetime outdoor enthusiast, lifetime learner, skier, pilot, artist, Texan, and leader. Today I live with Elizabeth and Rachel in Louisville, CO.

My dad. Growing up he didn't tell us to do things the right way, he did them the right way and let us watch. He didn't take short cuts or look for the easy way out. He was a good dad, good human, role model, friend, and my co-pilot through life. He loved my adopted daughters like they were his own. Thanks for everything dad, miss you.
