Dad to: newborn August.
Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
Favorite ways to spend family time in AZ: We love playing tennis at the Village and hanging out by the pool. Just generally enjoying the amazing weather and incredible Phoenix food scene.
Your most rewarding fatherhood moment: My fatherhood journey is only four-months long so without a doubt the most rewarding memory thus far has been watching my wife perform a natural birth. Her birth was incredibly challenging and took almost 24 hours. Just watching her persevere and to ultimately deliver our son was incredible and life changing.
Biggest challenge as a dad: The biggest challenge so far has been the first eight weeks post-birth. The lack of sleep was shocking. Everyone talks about it but you don’t truly understand until you do it.
A father who inspires you and why: My dad. I have the best father in the world. He was at every sporting event. He supported me emotionally. He was present, fun, and also taught me the importance of hard work, discipline and sacrifice.
Best piece of advice for a new dad: Help your wife post-birth. I hear stories of hands-off dads. It’s a two-person job. All hands on deck!
Your biggest hope for your children: I just pray that my kids are happy, healthy, well-rounded people. It’s really important to me that they are hard working and understand what’s truly important in life.
