Aloha! I’m Brad, and I’m on a mission to navigate fatherhood the way I approach most things in life—with curiosity, strategy, and a healthy dose of humor. Born and raised in Hawaii, I’ve always had a love for the outdoors, cooking, and—let’s be honest—eating (my grandfather always said, “A boy that loves to eat should love to cook,” and I’ve taken that motto to heart).

As I prepare for the incredible journey of fatherhood, I wanted to create a space where I could not only learn from different perspectives but also share my thoughts, insights, and the frameworks I’m developing to raise my child. Dads Dojo is my place to archive everything—from emotional wisdom to scientific strategies—so I can be the best dad I can be, and one day, share this journey with my future children.

Fatherhood is a constantly evolving journey. It’s no longer just about being physically strong or emotionally stoic. For me, it’s about being present, leading by example, and teaching my child what it means to show up—no matter the challenges. I’m approaching this with a blend of scientific strategy and emotional depth, striving to optimize everything before my baby arrives while staying flexible and open to the unexpected. After all, the best lessons often come when we least expect them.

I believe in learning together and supporting each other through this transformative experience. Let’s navigate the journey of fatherhood together, one lesson, one connection, and one meal (because cooking is involved, of course) at a time.
