• September 2019

Passionate about breaking the cycle of absent fathers in his family, Leonard became a stay-at-home dad when his children were young. That experience not only altered his life but the lives of his children. He shares his journey where he had to WAKE UP from the pain of being a fatherless son, GROW UP to be the dad he always wanted, and SHOW UP with a superpower—the power of fathering.
