As a father of six, I obviously love kids and want to help not just my children, but all children, have a wonderful childhood that ultimately leads them to their greatest potential. I went through a very tough time as a kid; from being very afraid of the dark, to being bullied, to dealing with anxiety and other struggles. It was rough.
I’ve spent the last 20+ years working on solution-oriented children’s health and development projects that aim to help children become their very best. Many of my books and other children’s products equip the next generation with the mindset needed to overcome challenges by facing them with courage and remembering the value of being intentional through every step of life. These lessons aren’t always easy, but are often necessary for sculpting young minds into healthy masterpieces.
