Twice a month we interview Dads in our “How Does He Do It?” feature. If interested in participating please reach out on Facebook or Instagram.
Are you an urban or suburban dad, where do you live?
Suburban Dad. I live outside of Lansing, Michigan.
Tell us about your children?
I have two daughters aged 15 & 12. Both love art, music and soccer. They are king, fun and generous and completely make my world worth living!
Tell us about your typical weekday?
I am the digital Director for a local TV station but I also coordinate a site by the name of Dadofdivas.com as well as running a non-profit called FatheringTogether.org, a Non Profit geared toward helping dads be better dads. As a part of this I run two Facebook Communities for dads called Dads with Daughters and Dads with Sons.
Do you have help?
I have a wonderful partner in life and we parent as a team but also I turn to our communities for support and they always help!
Who cooks dinner?
My partner does a lot of it, but I also help too.
How often do you have date nights?
With how busy the kids are, it is hard to have this time, but we do try and find time to do things together, just the two of us.
What clothing lines or stores do you like to purchase for your children?
A little bit of everything and my kids love to explore consignment stores to find special finds!
Do you exercise regularly and if so, what and how do you fit in it?
Yes, I have some equipment and a membership at a local facility. I like to get my exercise in the early morning. It is not easy, but I know I need to stay in shape to keep up with my own kids.
What is your favorite Christmas/Hanukkah gift that you have received as an adult?
Handmade gifts from my kids are usually the favorite gifts that I have received.
What are you currently watching?
Marvel’s Runaways, Dr. Who, Grey’s Anatomy, The Flash, Batwoman, Legends of Tomorrow.
Thank you to Christopher Lewis for taking the time out of his day to let us know “How He Does It.”
Enjoyed reading this Chris. No surprises but so happy you are such a loving Dad.
