NY1 Focuses on Why Fathers Matter

I was surprised to be tagged by a friend in a FB post after he saw me interviewed by NY1. The interview by Shelley Goldberg happened at the 92st Y's as part of a segment on the Why Fathers Matter Parenting Conference sponsored by Dove Men+Care in January 2015. The conference focused on creating successful parenting partnerships and empowering fathers.

I was so excited to attend a conference in NYC that focused on the impact of fathers. It was a well-organized, thoughtful, and fun event. I look forward to future parenting conferences at the why that explore the experience of fatherhood.

Dad 2.0 Summit 2015 or The Brown Gothamite Hits the Streets of San Francisco

After hearing so many positives about the Dad 2.0 Summit, I just had to make my way there this year. Even though it meant flying across country, which is something I do not enjoy, I can say it was well worth the white knuckle experience in the air. Dad 2.0 was many thing to its attendees. This is what it was for me.
