My name is Jake, I’m just an average dad that is learning as he goes. I’m a husband to an amazing wife Nicole for just over 11 years, a father to a beautiful daughter Brindley and a little man on the way. I am a sales rep for a home care company in my local area and my wife is a nurse practitioner for a local physician’s group. I am a typical dad who loves to smoke meats, woodworking, exercising, and just being with my family.

There are some people in my life that I have discussed with an idea on creating a community for dads. Where we could discuss the wins and losses that we all dads face at one point or another. So I created Mindful Dad. A spot where I can talk about my unique situations that you may be able to relate to. But I didn’t want to stop there and have it just be about my life or situations I was going through. I wanted to connect with other dads and share there stories. Hear what you all have to say because like I have experienced, there is more than one dad out there experiencing the same situation that may be able to help.
