About me

---

My name is Dan R. and I'm the founder of Fatherhood Is This. I've been searching for what else I am supposed to do since March of 2020. Times changed for everyone, and I had a shift in my own life as well.

Before Covid-19 hit, I was a different person. I liked video games and music, and just felt like a was a pretty good dad who played with my kids, so it was fine. Then I realized I wasn't the father I should be when there was an emergency. 

I've always known that I am a man of action, when something happens and I need to do something, I'll do it.

When I was 18, a friend of mine wrecked his car with my sister and me with him. We hit a Utility pole less than a mile from my house, knocking the power out. My dad arrived and walked into 1 of the hanging lines. Now the last thing I remember was getting out of the car, but according to my sister there was a flash and a loud noise that caused her to want to run away. She says now, that when that happened, I grabbed her, told her not to go anywhere, and when she turned around I had run across the feild we were in, jumped over the barbed wire fence and hit my dad off the line.

I think this is proof to myself, even if I can't remember, that I WILL react when I need to and how I need to. 

But I don't want to just be a reactionary father. I want to be ready for anything if my kids need me. And Covid showed my that I wasn't. 

This journey and site are my attempt to be ready for anything and everything for my kids, and to help anybody else that may feel the same way. Let's do this.

I will learn all that I can, to protect my kids from the darkness of the world. I am Responsible and Able to Act.

I Will be strong physically and mentally for my children. I Brought them into this world, and my job is to Protect them.
